- Abstract
Public examination is an educational practice that has been documented in several countries of Europe and Mexico for almost two centuries. Essay wondered about this educational practice which is imposed on the subject to give an account of their knowhow and thereby obtain a grade promotion or an academic degree. It is possible to understand the school practice of presenting public examinations as a legacy of the monarchic systems. It was a politic sovereign power that assigned titles or honors to people through lavish public ceremonies. However, the validity of the current public review is not held solely by the heritage of old practices but rather responds to current power disciplines as knowledge building systems of truth to which subjects should be screened. From the thought of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, the disciplinary power is manifested through visibility and docility of the subjects, therein lays its field of intervention and the effects of its practice. In this sense, essay argues that the power of disciplines is the substrate of force that articulates and holds the current mechanism of public scrutiny.
