The Ontological and Epistemological Connection Between Paulo Freire's Literacy Education and the CLING Project in South Africa
Abstract
This chapter explores the link between Paulo Freire's ontological and epistemological philosophies and the community literacy and numeracy group (CLING) project in South Africa. The CLING project is based on the belief that literacy is about mastering reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. It also empowers individuals to reach their full potential and achieve success and fulfilment. The authors discuss how apartheid obstructed the education of black individuals, but Freire's ideologies and educational philosophies aimed to raise awareness and liberate individuals from illiteracy, economic struggles, and inequality. The authors emphasise the importance of critical literacy in promoting social justice. Using a qualitative approach, the authors gathered data from both primary and secondary sources and selected twelve individuals who provided information-rich insights. It was discovered that literacy education, including reading and writing, has helped marginalised individuals and empowered men and women.
