Better still, would be to require Faculties of Education worldwide to CERTIFY teachers in the Behavioral Sciences (i.e., INTRApersonal and INTERpersonal Intelligence… the three “I_s”!) in order to be come a teacher!… and thereby, to both instruct and assess (from K to post-grad!) the Behavioral Development of ALL STUDENTS (and regardless of A-N-Y A-N-D A-L-L “other” academic pursuits a student may have!)! In other words, you don’t get to become a teacher, unless you are equipped in the Behavioral Sciences! And!… as a student!… you don’t get to proceed IN ANY OTHER FIELD unless you are equipped with the prequalifications of INTRApersonal and INTERpersonal Intelligence!
.
Further!… the W-H-O-L-E O-F E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N should be brought within the framework of the MEDICAL MODEL (i.e., a MACRO and MICRO/ LOCAL Public Health Model, and a MACRO and MICRO/ LOCAL Environmental Health Model!)! And inasmuch, as there is NO GREATER FIELD through which A-L-L O-T-H-E-R F-I-E-L-D-S on planet earth can, and should be vetted, than Health!
.
Lastly, in order to “kickstart” the necessary revamping of our pedagogies, would be to MANDATE that Faculties of Education Certify teachers in four essential prequalifications: Applied and Theoretical Teaching (what the teacher is all about!… and regardless of what subjects are being taught!), and Applied and Theoretical Learning (what the student is all about!… and regardless of what subjects students are learning!)! In MANDATING these FOUR PILLARS through our Faculties of Educations, teachers would be equipped with the BARE ESSENTIALS necessary, to facilitate proper teaching, and learning! But, beyond this, MANDATING the Behavioral Sciences through our Faculties of Education, would then bring teachers’ skill sets far beyond mere teaching and learning!… and into to the realm of “Behavioral Health”! And once our Pedagogies begin to entertain Behavioral Health, it’s then a “stone’s throw away” to a C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E-L-Y H-E-A-L-T-H I-N-T-E-G-R-A-T-E-D E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N-A-L M-O-D-E-L!… and therewith, dumping the “legacy” of our F-A-I-L-E-D “Educational Systems”!
.
To sum up… and to be frank!… NO advanced civilization anywhere within our universe, would base their educational systems… and society!… on anything less, than a T-O-T-A-L C-O-M-M-I-T-M-E-N-T T-O A-N I-N-T-E-G-R-A-T-E-D H-E-A-L-T-H M-O-D-E-L! And thereby, leaving only TWO CLASSES of citizens:… those in need of “healing”, and those able to heal! And!… NO MATTER WHAT OTHER “OCCUPATION” A CITIZEN MAY POSSESS… W-H-A-T-S-O-E-V-E-R!… H-E-A-L-T-H WOULD BE AT THE CENTER OF IT, OR, IT WOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM SOCIETY (which should bring to mind the ages old quote: “You’re either part of the problem, or you’re part of the solution”!… and… a quote attributed to Christ: “Let your communication be yea, or nay!…”)

P.S.: for an overview of how a revamped Pedagogy would look, secure an “interlibrary loan” of the work, The Death of Psychiatry, by Dr. Edwin Fuller Torrey! And on an overview of a GLOBAL HEALTH RESTRUCTURING of our many “social infrastructural components”, I would suggest an online review of our global health care bodies (such as the World Health Organization, and the World Health Assembly!… and etc.!), and organizations which are pursuing “complex systems research (e.g., the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis!… and etc.!… and see also, the Yearbook of International Organizations, from the Union of International Associations!)”!
