<![CDATA[This article aims to examine how the concepts of power, discipline, and social normalization in education are understood through the lens of Michel Foucault's theory. From a Foucauldian perspective, power is not merely repressive and centralized, but is rather diffuse, productive, and present in all social relations, including in educational practices. Through techniques of surveillance, evaluation, and the instillation of norms, education plays a strategic role in shaping subjects who are compliant with established social norms.
