Ramazan Karatepe; Binali Tunç
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v23 n2 p287-309 2025
According to Paulo Freire's Banking Concept of Education schools are reproduction areas of oppression and being oppressed relationship. Banking Concept of Education is an education mentality of giving roles to people, prohibiting quitting the roles, being far away from freedom, and filling information in students' brains. By this way, students grow without critical awareness. School principals, who are responsible from everything in schools, have a critical role about schools' and students' identity. In this study, daily practices of school principals during school management process are evaluated with the perspective of Banking Concept of Education. The study was designed as a qualitative work and interviews were done with 11 school principals. Principals were asked about setting objectives, planning, school rules, supervising, and economy, From the answers, themes were created. As result, school principals are very centralized. In some occasions, principals can't make decisions; instead they just apply central decisions. When school principals made some decisions, they have to act according to central administration. With these steps, schools become reproduction centers of dominant political ideology. School principals are just the implementers of central ideological decisions.
