Abstract This study investigated the trend in global education management and budget decentralization of different schools around the world. The study is conducted using document analysis and data mining methods from various educational programs implemented in different countries. There are at least three (3) countries from each continent that were subjected to the study. The data gathered from each country were analyzed by comparing the points of similarities and points of dissimilarities. The results of the analysis reveal that decentralization has been an effective governance model of school management and administration, especially in schools from first-world countries, and has been a challenge to academic institutions from third-world nations. This difference has been linked to factors such unavailability of resources and government funding disparity between countries. Overall, the finding shows that decentralization, as the model of school organization can be an effective approach to develop local autonomy in school administration and management. Thus, leading to enhanced educational quality. Keywords: decentralization, global education management, government-funding disparity, local autonomy, model of school organization
