Abstract
The banking model manufactures human consciousness that is easy to control. It
programs individuals to accept and believe in a false concept of reality so that they fail
to perceive the connection between human action and their immediate and higher social
reality. In this way, it creates submissive subjects for the order of oppression. The
oppressed are conditioned and incapable of perceiving the truth. Their critical and
creative thinking potential is systematically annulled. This paper aims to reinterpret
Freire’s essay on “the Banking Model of Education” using Tyler’s model of curriculum
to uncover the practices of the educators at every level of the oppressor-controlled
educational system. As Tyler’s model is often termed as a “Product model”, its
framework can be useful in analyzing the banking model, which is purely productoriented, to achieve deeper understanding of the process which the banking model
adopts to produce a certain type of psyche that can ensure the survival of oppression.
