What we are still practicing in the academic institutions of Nepal is what Paulo Freire calls “the ‘banking’ concept of education,” which means “education becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories, and the teacher is the depositors. Instead of communicating, the teacher issues communications and makes deposits which students patiently receive, memorise, and repeat. Mugging up everything that the teachers preach in class does not help one be a better citizen and a critical thinker.
