In the past few decades, educational leadership and attention to the quality of school principals' performance have been at the top of educational policies in developed countries. The purpose of this research is to analyze the necessary platforms for the transition from educational management to educational leadership in the educational system of Iran. current research method is of a qualitative type, which was carried out by the method of the theory (systematic grounded theory). Research participants, academic faculty members of universities affiliated to the Ministry of Science, people with opinions related to educational leadership who have records such as the Minister of Education, Deputy Minister and Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Education and leading directors of various schools who in the academic year 1403- 1402 were engaged in educational and research activities. In an overview, based on the obtained results and the dimensions of the foundation's data model, 12 main categories, 55 subcategories and 203 concepts were extracted from the interviews. The findings of the research showed that important conditions such as decentralization in the structure of the education system, progressiveness and dynamism in the role of school administrators are necessary for this transition. Achieving educational leadership requires different strategies. In addition to changing the political view towards the function of education and, consequently, the managers in this institution, it is necessary to turn to the scientific education and training of managers and select and appoint these people with a more specialized view for the management of schools.

The internationalization of universities, student migration, and the diversity of international students from various cultures have led to elevated communication, interactions, and human commitments. This phenomenon has sparked the interest of scholars in the concept of acculturation and its social, cultural, political, and psychological impacts. The process of acculturation among international students is recognized as stress-inducing due to various factors. The interaction between these students and the host community plays a crucial role in their cross-cultural adaptation. However, limited research has explored and evaluated such interactions in the context of international students' acculturation. Therefore, the main objective of this study has been to enumerate and evaluate the influential factors affecting international students’ acculturation in the Medical Science universities of Tehran, towards facilitating living conditions and enhancing the academic performance of these students in Iran. Consequently, this research, grounded in acculturation, aims to investigate the alignment between students and the university in various dimensions as predictors of the psychological adjustment of international students in Medical Sciences universities in Tehran. The research population consisted of 56 international students enrolled in Medical Sciences universities in Tehran, who were selected using snowball sampling. To analyze the obtained data, statistical analysis was employed in conjunction with descriptive indices. The results indicated that cultural norms significantly influence the level of acculturation in these students. Additionally, the analysis revealed a significant gender difference in lifestyle factors among female and male students, which, in turn, plays a fundamental role in acculturation.
