五十年代二次大戰後。一條意大利遍遠貧窮山區的村落，許多人一直在貧困中掙扎，特別是工人、農民不能負擔孩子上學的費用。有位將自己一生獻給貧窮及受壓迫者的神父Don Lorenzo Milani為了他們而設辦了所學校名叫Barbiana。他認為這些孩子沒有教育，永遠都會是弱勢，被剝削者，當孩子有能力去表達自己的需要，可以閱讀及寫字，就可保護自己的權利。五六十年代的理想教育，沒有經費，社會不確認，沒有聘請合資格的老師，學習時通常是年長的學生教導年輕的學生，不同年齡的學生一起討論、研究，學習與生活相結合，是一個共同生活的群體。

對比香港的教育制度，目標就是教導學生應付考試、增強個人競爭力、沒有獨立思考能力、不會反抗政府或畏懼權力的奴隸，最終甘願成為市場/金錢主導的商業社會的一件工具。 Barbiana的教學理念，相信學習就是源自生活上的需要，令學生成為關心社會的公民，具批判社會的思考能力，向社會上的不公義而鬥爭。

The 1950s. Days after the Second World War. A poor mountainous village in remote area of Italy. Most people in this village agonize over poverty. They, especially workers and farmers, cannot afford their children’s education expenses. A Father, named as Don Lorenzo Milani, spent his entire life for the poor and the oppressed. He established the school “Barbiana” for them. He believed the children would always be the disadvantaged as education is lacked. If they can present their needs, also read and write, these kids could protect their own rights. The school was run without any funding, any social recognition, or any qualified teacher. Students learn by seniority system. The senior teaches the junior. They discuss. They study. And they combine learning into life.

On the other hand, HK education system aims at teaching examination skills, enhancing individual competitiveness, lacking independent mind and being unable to oppose the government. It finally makes students become a tool of the commercial society which is market/wealth-oriented.
