The developed countries have focused on the school management and education systems in their education reforms, starting in the late 1990s. Some international organizations, aiming to contribute to these reforms, have given special attention to education and tried to help countries with their deficiencies in teaching, testing and evaluation systems. The PISA exams, one of the international exams, give the opportunity to countries to check regularly to what extent they approach their educational goals in basic education and share the results and evaluation of the factors affecting their education systems. TALIS is also one of these exams that identifies problems and develops suggestions for solving these problems on some sub-areas. The UNESCO IIEP and EU have done similar studies. According to the assessments and reports prepared by the aforementioned organizations, the school administrators in the school system, along with other factors, play an important role in the academic success of student. In this study, it is aimed to develop some recommendations on selection and education process of school administrators for improving the quality of education and academic achievement in the light of exam results and research reports.
