Democracy is nowdays an instrument for observing the state of affairs and developing relations in school and education, and for that very reason, it is increasingly emphasized on its role in the function of development of an educational institution. Civic upbringing and education contribute to the democratization of schools and the democratic school environment in an effort to provide students with civic competences and to become informed, active and responsible members of their community. The aim of this paper is to examine the primary school teachers on their educational work that contributes to the creation of pupils as active and responsible citizens, to examine the views important to promote the democratization of the educational institution and to examine teacher's opinions about their educational institution as a democratic community. High results of the overall research are positively satisfactory, suggesting that teachers are aware that preparing pupils for the role of active and responsible citizens is one of the most important tasks of the educational institution.
