Abstract

The article deals with a bibliographical research about the importance of democratic management and the implementation of quality education in school. It proposes an analysis on various aspects of democratic management as a political act during its construction and execution process. It cites the relevance of the collective participation of school and community actors in decisions, including the choice of directors. It gives a brief account of the importance and the forms, for the choice of directors, aiming at the decentralization of power. It highlights the participation mechanisms and processes, such as: the Student Guild, the School Council and the Class Council. It draws attention to the real meaning of participation, in the sense of responsibility to the school and its needs, through the skills and abilities of each person involved in the organization and functioning. Complementing the fundamental aspects, the article focuses on the Pedagogical Political Project as a historical document, designed to define the ways of the school, through coexistence, curricula, evaluation and democratic management. It invites a discussion on the authoritarian model, to redefine ideas and actions that democratically benefit a quality school.
