Abstract: Evidence suggests that developments in information and communication technologies have had prominent impacts on variations of various fields including education and this has led to formation of a phenomenon called globalization. Globalized education management is able to guarantee an improvement in the quality of education system. Therefore, analyzing the degree of globalization in management of Iranian education system is essential for the purpose of figuring the gap with globalized education management in order to plan strategically. The main goal of this research is to realize the degree of globalization in management of Iranian education system. Statistical society includes all the three level of teachers and principals in primary, middle and high schools of Khuzestan province. The sampling method is homogenous stratified random sampling aligned with the volume of society by the help of determining the sample table of Krejcie and Morgan. The survey method is analysis of documents and questionnaires and tables were used for gathering data. Findings suggest that management of Iranian education system is far from globalized, post-modern education management, actually matches traditional, stagnant and modernity management. The existing hierarchical relation between staff and managers can be taken into consideration and lack of emphasis on research findings in order to employ beneficial solutions can be referred too. This has resulted in the gap between the existing and the desired situation. So, less bureaucracy, more integration, flexibility in structure, creativity-orientation and research-orientation are considered as the factors diminishing the gap between the existing and desired management conditions of Iranian education system.
