The purpose of this essay is to reflectaboutdemocratic and participatory school management in Vocationaland Technological Education (EPT). For this, based on a qualitative approach and a bibliographical and documentary research, this study discusses the following points dialectically: the principles that guide democratic school management in institutions in EPTand the mechanisms of democratic participation in EPT. It is understood that democratic school management must continuously re-elaborate and redirect its principles, reassess its mechanisms of participation and make power a possibility and an empowerment of the subjects that make up the school community. On the part of the management, there must always be a double responsibility for the institution to be the germ of an egalitarian society and to stimulate education professionals to become involved in the questions about the constitution of a democratic organization. Democratic management favors divergence, controversy, plurality of ideas and solidifies it for the purpose of a free, just and solidary society. Reflective dialogue is an antidote to avoid autocracy, oligarchy and tyrannies that are not and will not be the privilege of a particular culture or time. The numerous contradictions that challenge EPTcan not be minimized, they must be tackled from a theoretical and practical point of view, but for this a minimum consensus must be formed around management so that although there are so many differencesof conceptions and views, lose the focus of what is the human and social role of an institution that forms for EPT
