What the educator does in teaching is make it posible for the students to become themselves. Paulo Freire. HUMANIZATION OF SCHOOL ACCORDING TO THE IDEA OF PAULO FREIRE

Talk about humanization of school involves doing a mandatory reference to Paulo Freire, the Brazilian pedagogue who has had the clarity to recognize that, despite his personal ability, the man is not alone in the world, rather it is a relational being. Pablo Freire is a thinker committed to life, does not think in abstract ideas, but thinks starting from concrete existence. His educational project, which is part of praxis, aims to create humanization, to liberate the human being of everything that does not let it be truly person. Considering the breadth of Freire's teaching methods and the diversity of his thoughts, it is not easy to summarize and explain his most important thoughts in one place, so this document will only try to explain about the humanization of schools, according to F reire and his main principles, which show the educational aspects that could be tried in schools to overcome social problems. As well as the most important aspects that support the relationship between education and society. INTRODUCTION

THE PEDAGOGY OF PAULO FREIRE Freire, a radical democratic humanist, believed that the system of education ought to be in accordance with human rights and dignity. Many critics indicate that the dominant philosophy of education, which separates school from its essenc, is quite contradictory to the definition of school as a human social community. His pedagogy is a pedagogy of peace, hope, love and freedom. The starting point, according to this author, should be the child itself and not state policy. He was a fierce opponent of the class-based education, believing that there should not be privileged individuals in the process of education and that education should be equally available to everyone. The social context is reflected in the school context, which is the reason why social problems are connected whit school problems. School is the basic institution whose aim it is to educate children. However, if there is any dissatisfaction, it means that the school has not fulfilled its function and has failed to create people who will be able to develop not only their own personality but also the ability to live with other people different from themselves.

CRITICISM OF THE MODERN SCHOOLAND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HUMANISTIC SCHOOL In his theory of school, Freire pays serious attention to discussions of discrimination as a universal phenomenon which exists in the school environment as well. The starting point for his discussion of discrimination in the school is his work A Pedagogy for Liberation (1987). The aims of education should not be based on the principle of authority. Authority is still present at school and education is still controlled by the elite, which results in the creation of marginalized persons (Milutinović, 2008). Freire and some other critics demand the revision of everything: the subjects that are discussed, the aims of education, its objectives, the relationship between the teacher and the student as well as between the students themselves. Freire compares the organization of education with the so-called ‘‘banking concept’’, which is characterized by the following elements: the teacher gives a lecture, the students listen to the teacher; the teacher knows everything, the students know nothing; or the teacher thinks and the students think about what the teacher thinks, the teacher disciplines and the students are disciplines. Its necessary to eliminate habits and prejudices, the elitism of those in power and the intellectualism of those in high positions (Trnavac, 2005:238-239). Depending on how society is, in schools equality or inequality will be created, that is why there is so much relationship between society and education.

WHY IS ESSENTIAL TO HUMANIZE OF SCHOOL? Because it is necessary to connect the learning that takes place within the classrooms by building conversation spaces that recognize the emotions of children and young people in the face of their life experiences, to broaden the understandings that each actor in the educational community has of their student. The humanization of the school context implies significant changes in the field of learning and the acquisition of knowledge. According to Freire, "one of the radical differences between education as a dominating and dehumanizing task and education as a humanistic and liberating task is that the former is a pure act of knowledge" (Freire, 1985:114). The process of "raising the awareness of a person " is the reason why there were changes in the learning process . The teacher is no longer an authority figure superior to students, but their associate and partner in the process of learning. Freire criticizes the school based on authorities, in which children's needs and interests are not taken into consideration and where there is no chance for development .

What is the purpose of humanizing the schools? T he main objective is to break the mental schemes that are had in society. In addition , discern the qualities of its students, the family resources, the knowledge provided by the organization and the resources that each subject immersed in the institution possesses as human beings to contribute with flexibility. The establishment of a humanistic school is based on changes of the teachers, who are expected to be more tolerant, open and direct, more critical, inquisitive and modest. The teacher's task is to impart to his students the virtues that Freire considers necessary for the liberation of education. These virtues are: humanity, respect, openness, curiosity, dedication, perseverance, willingness to listen to others and listen to a different opinion (Ibidem, 2007 ). The solution to this problem would be for teachers to work to impart a certain amount of knowledge to students, but also to leave space for students to think critically and question (Ibidem, 1985).

CONCLUSION Paulo Freire was a person who always had a special concern for the other, for denouncing injustices and for showing us that human beings have in our hands the possibilities of change and transformation. Paulo Freire's ideas about schools within reach of all clearly exemplify a humanistic vision of education where there is no discrimination, equal education for all, especially for children and adults who belong to marginalized and disadvantaged social groups. In Freire's view, changes should be introduced in school work that help to overcome the existing ‘’banking concept’’ and that lead to an organization of school work adapted to the needs of students, teachers and all other participants in the educational process . The concept of person must be the starting point of any educational system, and the student, its axis. School education must maintain a balance between the intellectual, the affective and everything related to the human being. Based on Freire's work and his ideas, I can say that the fundamental mission of today's teacher is the integral formation of his students as men and women of integrity. In addition, the transmission of information and knowledge and training in skills can be performed by modern technical means much more effectively. In conclusion ,the school - understood as colleges and universities - not only needs, but must coordinate with the family to provide a true educational service to students and reasonably aspire to achieve the ultimate goal that it pursues: the comprehensive education of children and young people.
