Özet: Globalization has brought many changes on the education systems and schools. These changes will be exemplified from the basis of school finance, employee rights, curriculum, administration, and school-environment relations in this study. The study also reviews common types of conflicts experienced at schools as a result of globalization and the ways in which conflict could be managed. Following topics were discussed in the article: ‘Conflicts emerged from perspectives towards globalization, conflicts emerged from cross cultural differences, conflicts sourced from changes in the teaching and learning processes, conflicts sourced from the standardization efforts, conflicts sourced from the change in school-parents relations, conflicts sourced from the process of finance related activities and conflicts   sourced   from   information, communication   and   educational technologies’.  This article argues that schools cannot be isolated from the effects of globalization. Therefore since conflict is a normal occurrence in schools, school administrators should discover constructive approaches through careful diagnosis and an approach that transforms the conflicting situations into constructive experiences for the school and the education.
