Anti-oppressive education encompasses multiple approaches to learning that actively challenge forms of oppression.

Both Bell[7] and Benn-John[8] encourage teachers to value and incorporate the narratives and leadership of oppressed and marginalized groups.

Bell recommends specific steps, such as being a responsible ally, deconstructing binaries, and analyzing power.

This is the banking model of education, in which the scope of action allowed by the students extends only as far as receiving, filling and storing the deposits.

[13] Thus, projecting an absolute ignorance onto others, a characteristic of the ideology of oppression, negates education and knowledge as a process of inquiry.
