Abstract
Motivation/Background: Sustainability is established on economic, environmental and social pillars, which are understood as inseparable. This demands changes of paradigms and the construction of new models of living, which are directly connected to education. In this context, assuming that people’s actions are more dependent on consolidated habits than on conscience, this essay hopes to demonstrate that democratic management is an irrevocable imperative towards a sustainable society.
 Method: Methodologically, the research is of a standard nature, as we used qualitative, descriptive and exploratory approaches. As for the procedures, it can be classified as a bibliographic and documental research study.
 Results and Conclusions: It was concluded that democratic management in education is of great importance for the consolidation of the paradigm of sustainability since schools have a key role in the formation of citizens.

Summary
The discussion about sustainability is more than a theory; it is a change in paradigm. It is more than a concern over matters of the ecological and environmental order, but founded on changing ones way of life for it affects all spheres of human life, economic, social and environmental. We approach the concept of sustainability, highlighting its tripod: economy, ecology and society. Democratic management is analyzed as a determinant factor for education that is developed in educational institutions.
