The collective concern is how we actually do democracy in education. The essays argue that democracy must be infused in everything that happens at school: curriculum extra-curricular activities interaction with parents and communities and through formal organization and structures.One of the book's central questions is: Are educators merely teaching students skills and knowledge to prepare them for the world of work or is education more about encouraging students to thrive within a pluralistic society? This book reveals that democracy is an ethos an ideology a set of values a philosophy and a complex and dynamic terrain that is a contested forum for debate.From seasoned veterans to emerging scholars these writers challenge the idea that there is only one type of democracy or that democracy is defined by elections.
