This volume is part of a series of monographs from Australia devoted to outlining an alternative approach, based on neo-Marxist concepts, to educational administration. The introductory essay in the volume is an argument for the democratization of education by establishing a case for changing schools: by discussing industrial democracy as a democratic ideal, by providing examples of reform in educational administration, and by proposing some possible avenues for action. Accordingly, the first major section of the paper focuses on the role of school members--administrators, teachers, students, and parents--in schools today. After introducing the concept of industrial democracy, the paper provides current examples of reform in educational administration in Yugoslavia, Sweden, the United States, and the Australian Capital Territory. Avenues for action in creating more democratic schools are then suggested for administrators, teachers, students, and parents. Four readings by separate authors follow: (1) "Education and Organizational Democracy," by Henry M. Levin; (2) "Exploring Linkages between Dewey's Educational Philosophy and Industrial Reorganization," by Arthur G. Wirth; (3) "Market versus Mandator: Control Structure and Strategies for Change in School Organizations," by Gunnar Berg; and (4) "An Apprenticeship in Democracy," by Tony Knight. An annotated bibliography is included. (TE)
