 Introduction

               Conscientization is a popular education and social concept developed by Brazilian pedagogue and educational theorist Paulo Freire, grounded in post-Marxist critical theory. Critical consciousness focuses on achieving an in-depth understanding of the world, allowing for the perception and exposure of social and political contradictions. Critical consciousness also includes taking action against the oppressive elements in one’s life that are illuminated by that understanding.                  As a part of B.Ed curriculum a conscientization class was conducted to students of Holy family convent school Aravila through online platform Google meet on November 27 ,2020.
