Students’ participation in democratic school management: A systematic literature review

Abstract: Highlights • Empirical research on student participation in school management has increased significantly in recent years. • Countries have local and specific education policies that define student participation in school management. • Education policy defines places for student participation, but there are sociocultural barriers in the governance structure. • Student participation in school management is mostly in student councils, through class representatives, and only as an advisory body. • Students create new movements and initiatives, with practices beyond the conventional and formal at schools. Purpose: To know and study the participation of young students and their voice in decision-making in their schools in a competitive education regulated by excellence.
