Future of education: Academic or professional doctorate

Abstract

Since a long time ago, we are aspiring after a new type of professional doctorate program, a program which does not exist yet. “It should be the first duty of a school for life to help a young person build up an `intelligence profile'” [1]. We were already both victims and beneficiaries of the current `successor education'. “Our place, as human beings, is somewhere in the middle. We cannot fall captive to the rational, explainable homo economicus, nor can we completely give way to our animal spirits” [2]. It's high time to set up a professional doctorate program where not the `mechanized homo economicus' but the `humanized human' is in the center of education.
