This essay focuses on the need to educate the new "persona educada", a dignified, honorable person with a good measure of social and personal responsibility who also possesses the habits of the mind and heart. To cultivate "una persona educada" requires a newly formed vision of education and pedagogy. Examples of three entrenched agreements that have become part of higher education's harmful hegemonic structures are discussed. Finally, the elements of creating a sensing/thinking pedagogy, which unites the "sentir" of intuition and the inner life and the "pensar" of intellectual development and the outer life, are presented.
