Education democratization is an evolutionary process in which individuals enjoy more and more equal educational opportunities. Democratic education and education system characterized by more and more full autonomy and cooperation are also constantly turning to justice, openness and diversity. Since 1960s, it has been the mainstream of education reform in the world.

The manifestations of educational democratization mainly include the following aspects:

I. Equality of educational opportunities

Equality of educational opportunities is the basis of realizing educational equality. Equal opportunity means that everyone can get an appropriate education, and the progress and methods of this education are suitable for personal characteristics. The main requirement of equal educational opportunities is that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the most basic education, and everyone has the equal opportunity to receive education that conforms to their ability development.

Second, popularize education.

The popularization of education can be said to be the basic guarantee for the democratization of education. If the democratization of education is a political ideal, which aims to ensure that citizens and their children in every society enjoy the right to education, then the popularization of education is the realistic basis to ensure that people really enjoy this right.

Third, the equality of education quality and effect.

The democratization of education inevitably requires the reform of the educational system and operating mechanism. The educational system has changed from selective and centralized to comprehensive and decentralized, the educational structure has changed from rigid closed to elastic open, the relationship between teachers and students has changed from authoritative decentralized to interactive, the educational method has changed from indoctrination to heuristic, and the educational evaluation has changed from focusing on choice to fairness and openness.
