Is Paulo Freire held in high esteem in South America in general?

Yes, Paulo Freire is generally held in high esteem throughout South America, and indeed in much of the world.

Freire was a Brazilian educator and philosopher who developed a revolutionary approach to education known as "critical pedagogy." His ideas were highly influential in Latin America and beyond, and his book "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" is considered a classic in the field of education.
Freire's work was rooted in a deep commitment to social justice and liberation, and he believed that education should be a tool for empowering marginalized communities and challenging systems of oppression.
In South America, Freire's ideas have been particularly influential in movements for social change and popular education. Many educators and activists in the region continue to draw on his work to inform their practice, and his legacy remains an important source of inspiration and guidance.
