Résumé

This research examines the construction of the political subject in the educational discourse and explores how educational contexts shape citizenship and political commitment. It seeks to understand how Cuban educational institutions (K-12) construct political subjects by reinforcing ideological power through the curriculum. The findings suggest that education plays a significant role in shaping political subjectivities within the Cuban context where textbooks and other educational materials contribute to the formation of citizenship and political engagement. The research reveals that while schools play a crucial role in political socialization, they often produce subjugated, passive subjects disconnected from critical political engagement. The study argues for a more participatory and critical curriculum that reflects the lived realities of students and enables them to actively question and engage with political systems.
