Democratic school movement

The democratic school movement champions a model of education where students have a say in their learning environment, curriculum, and decision-making processes. Unlike traditional schools with top-down authority, these schools promote student participation, autonomy, and responsibility, fostering respect, independence, and critical thinking. Teachers and students often collaborate in creating rules and planning activities, emphasizing mutual respect and active engagement. The movement aims to develop well-rounded, self-motivated individuals by empowering students to take ownership of their education and environment.
