This papers wants to contribute to the debate on the possibilities that the school has to contribute to the citizen training of its students, so that the analysis of the stories on the elaboration of the citizen training plan to comply with the Law is presented in every educational establishment. The approach is qualitative. Seven discussion groups were held in two regions of Chile, Maule and Biobío. For the analysis of the transcripts, the qualitative analysis strategy developed by Strauss was used and was considered the Atlas ti 7 software. The results shown in the implementation of the citizen training plan find a series of conditions specific to the school as an organization and social field, which end up delimiting its scope to promote a culture of participation and contribute to citizen training of the student body. This tells us about the need to take into account the political nature of the school and the inequalities in the conditions with which its members are involved in it. For this reason, it is necessary to include the concept of educational justice both in the design and in the implementation of educational policies, especially in modifying that seek to transform the school into a space for the construction of democratic citizenship.

Keywords : political education; civic education; educational policy; democratization education.
