Identity and Education

Abstract

Identity and education are intrinsically connected. While education is supposed to equip students to define who they are, sometimes, however, when education becomes a vehicle of the dominant, its goal is mostly to pigeonhole the other in a position of inferirorty whereby, it is impossible to escape this place of the colonizer. But then only education can take any one from the position of victimization to a position of empowerment when the other reach a high-standard of knowledge and discernment.
