Democratic School
A Democratic School is an educational institution where students have a significant say in their learning process and school governance. In these schools, students participate in decision-making, including setting rules and choosing activities, fostering a sense of responsibility and community. The focus is on individual interests and collaborative learning rather than a strict curriculum.
In a Democratic School, teachers act as facilitators rather than traditional authority figures. This approach encourages students to explore their passions and develop critical thinking skills. The philosophy is rooted in the belief that education should be a shared experience, promoting equality and respect among all members of the school community.
