The present work analyzes the strategies to promote student and community participation in the decision-making process at Jangamo Secondary School from 2019 to 2021.

Thus, based on the narratives of some members of the school council approached in the data collection process, the study concludes that the decision-making process at Jangamo Secondary School is inclusive and open insofar as it gives space for participation to different people.
