DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His films like 'Kes' and 'I, Daniel Blake' critique systemic failures in education and social institutions that marginalize working-class youth.

 Rajkumar Hirani India

His films '3 Idiots' and 'PK' directly challenge rigid educational systems and advocate for student-centered, creative learning approaches.

 François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical film 'The 400 Blows' powerfully explores how traditional schooling fails troubled youth and the need for educational compassion.
