Abstract
Globalization has led many organizations to transition from a monocultural life to a multicultural life. Therefore, the management of differences and the tolerance level has gained importance, especially in educational institutions. This study aims to evaluate school management as a case study about the management of diversity following a qualitative research design. The study's participants were chosen with the maximum diversity, as the purposeful sampling method. The study sample consists of 8 school administrators, seven teachers, and five participants from unions for primary schools. The obtained data were analyzed by the content analysis method. As a result of the research, it was found that there are differences in schools, especially in culture, religion, language, and socio-economic aspects, but tolerance education for this is insufficient.
