Paulo Freire
1. Paulo Freire is a Brazilian educationalist who had a great impact on informal and popular education with his ideas of progressive practive. He wrote a book entitled Pedagogy of the Oppressed dealing with the issue of unfit education.
2. One of his beliefs is to help men and women overcome their sense of powerlessness to act in their own behalf.
3. After the military coup d'etat of 1964, Freire was put in jail by the new government and was eventually forced into a political exile that lasted for fifteen years.

Unfit education is a good way to put it, but here, the reader is left out of the loop. Help them out by telling them why it was unfit. Same with powerlessness; here the reader is not sure what type. Giving an example will strengthen your position. Overall, good. Thank you for your work.
