Abstract

Competence-based education and training (CBET) is an existential threat, representing not only the end of human learning and experience, but in terms of redefining humanity. Through a discussion of the possible role of CBET within three critical humanisms: Marxism, critical race theory/black existentialism and transhumanism, it is argued that CBET impoverishes our humanity, leaving us as instruments of value creation, ‘caged by competence’ to make only digital and pre-determined interactions with the world. CBET makes us transhuman objects who can only be understood through exopedagogical theories of education and this has serious consequences for its application.
