Summary/Abstract: Reasoning and evidence are presented in support of the thesis that the competency education approach, based on a controversial definition of the term "competence", by shifting the focus from personal development to meeting the needs of the global economy by adaptive, unified and culturally disconnected human resources, is not only one of the main reasons for the collapse of education, but it is partly incompatible with democratic values, as it does not create prerequisites for the formation of critically thinking individuals who are free and capable of selfdetermined management of their lives based on their own world, knowledge, attitudes and preferences.
