DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His films like 'Kes' and 'I, Daniel Blake' portray how institutional education fails working-class youth, advocating for alternative, lived-based learning.

 François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical 'The 400 Blows' and 'Small Change' celebrate childhood autonomy and critique rigid schooling in favor of organic personal development.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His provocative works challenge conventional moral and educational systems, exploring how society indoctrinates rather than truly educates individuals.
