Abstract

I believe education as we know it is dying, and that this death is not a tragedy but an opportunity. This whitepaper articulates my thesis on how to educate in the Agentic Era: a civilisational transition where AI agents co-learn with humans, where encyclopaedic knowledge loses value, and where the Qualitas Doctrine demands reformulating the educational contract. I propose the ZOE (Educational Zone of Proximal Development) framework as an agentic extension of Vygotsky, redefine the teacher role as curator of meaning, and deliver a specific roadmap for Latin America within the framework of Industry 6.0 and the Agentic Economy. My thesis: we do not educate for jobs that will not exist, we educate for humans who will exist.
