A humanist educational model can be defined as a system in which human values, dignity, reason and fulfilment in harmony with nature predominates. By contrast, the present system is based on utilitarian values to transform knowledge into commodities. Within this context we see the dehumanization of our children, young people and students. I assume that the function of higher education is to reify ruling class values into the social consciousness of students, and to train students to serve the capitalist machinery. Rulers have long sought domination and dehumanization through technology and imposed their regime through models of industrial education (via factory manufacturing and military training models)
