Summary/Abstract: The basic concepts required for understanding the management and reformation of educational systems are defined in the text. The author presents the main characteristics of centralized and decentralized education management. Results of functionalist and conflict analyses of educational reforms are given as well as the possibilities provided by systems analysis in programming educational reform. Therefore, the author discusses the differences between "internal" and "external" education reform and the application of the theory of organizational development in conducting reforms at school level. In the last chapter, the author analyzes economical, political and cultural changes in post-communist countries by means of the systems approach and thus predicts the further course of educational change.
