The teaching of the culture of democracy begins at home and continues at school. A school is an institution where educational activities are planned and carried out within the framework of certain programs. This feature makes the school the most important authority in raising the democratic consciousness of the people. The school not only gives basic knowledge and skills to an individual, but also gives culture to people. The knowledge, skills and values gained in the school environment contribute to the individual's harmony in society, existence in society with his own values and beliefs and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The biggest task in the implementation of democratic education in schools falls to the school administrator, who is considered the brain of the school and keeps in touch with teachers, parents, students and all interest groups of the school. The atmosphere of the school is influenced by how the principal runs the school, what values he believes in and his honesty. In schools, teachers influence the approach of the school principal and regulate the way they work according to the attitudes and behaviors of the school principal. People don't just get information at school. They also gain advantages that guide their social lives, such as being able to listen to others, respecting different ideas, and being tolerant of people. In addition, the knowledge and skills learned at school are indirect, planned and programmed. How teachers and administrators behave in problem situations and how people relate to them when they encounter a situation that requires a solution creates a structure in the minds of students. Students maintain these structures as they participate in social life and as adults. Efforts to democratize the school environment are very important and valuable for creating a democratic school environment. In this context, it can be said that the biggest task falls on teachers. Because students spend most of their time at school together with their teachers in the classroom. Teachers have a great responsibility to teach the characteristics of thinking, questioning, decision-making and critically examining events from different angles that a democratic society expects from individuals in the classroom environment. For this purpose, in addition to teaching cognitive and affective information, it is necessary to activate students' thinking skills. The development of the skills of listening to different ideas with an open mind, evaluating and interpreting ideas will contribute to the formation of a democratic climate in the classroom. Students who respect the opinions of their friends in the classroom will also respect the opinions of others when they leave school. In a democratic classroom, learning activities are student-centered. The teacher fulfills his duty as a teacher who organizes learning. In this democratic environment, no one is superior to anyone. Everyone has the same rights and responsibilities. Key Words: Educational Administration, Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, Democratic Governance
