Displinary power is the way GoK controls you using institutions like prisons and schools. They tell you when to wake up and when to sleep, when to eat and when to play.
Governmentality is when the GoK controls through your life outside those institutions, like in your family.

GoK tells you how to be a parent. It no longer gives teachers a syllabus - it even tells us how to teach and demands a lot of paperwork to prove that we taught exactly the way people in Jogoo house said we should. Hence they demand printed evidence that your kid made a sandwich.
It doesn't take a genius to see that @KICDKenya and Twaweza have been advised by a PR agency to hit the media waves with a bang and defend the colonial, racist new education system #competencybasedcurriculum
For the last two years, @KICDKenya pretended we didnt exist, and they avoided being on the same panels as us. They hoped that giving us the silent treatment would make us stop talking. But how can we, when we are the where #competencybasedcurriculum rubber meets the road?
But the truth prevailed. All the things we predicted would happen have happened, and even worse than we could have imagined. But instead of changing their minds, like good educators and scholars should, @KICDKenya is continuing this historical mistake #competencybasedcurriculum
