Abstract	This paper investigates how education legislation in Denmark, Norway and Sweden define democracy, especially in relation to a complex society with diverse linguistic, religious and cultural practices. What tasks are assigned to educators through education policy documents pertaining to democratic values? The analysis points out that the designated mandate is normative and emphasizes the political nature of education. Furthermore, there is room for improvement in democratic features of education systems in Scandinavia. (Contains 7 notes.) (As Provided).
