Dear Francois,
An object-relations psychology approach to education would do much of what you were looking to do. That is, much of what you point to already happens, as a matter of course. Making explicit the implicit would then become the innovation.

In the early 80s, I suggested that orientation towards a future a career
would start even much earlier, at kindergarden level...I had sketched out a
"training" concept, starting at pre-school up to University level. Toddlers,
children and adolescents would learn how to 'rationally' select objects for
their daily use; thus, towards eventually becoming, through higher level
training, professionals selecting (in generic sense) artifacts for others,
i.e. designers.
The concept was however immediately 'nipped in the bud' by 'silo
dwellers'...
