Abstract	During three last decades of Islamic Revolution of Iran there have been many undeniable efforts by authorities and administrators of educational and cultural affairs in order to change and improve Iran´s education. However, in spite of all efforts, in the age called "knowledge-based age" or the age of knowledge explosion with education being introduced as the key of all developments, Iran´s education has not been able to change and improve increasingly and keep pace with global changes or even with changes of other sectors inside the country. Anyway, centralized educational system, inefficiency of educational leadership, low teachers´ occupational satisfaction, shortage of educational budget, little motivation, inadequacy of educational content and weakness of educational planning, are of the concerns preventing country´s education from change and being dynamic. However, regardless of the general problems of the education at national level, education of Kermanshah province does not occupy a fine position among the other provinces.

In order to have inferential and descriptive analysis statistical methods of percentage taking, frequency tables, mean and standard deviation were used. Also statistical methods of one-sample t-test and two-sample t-test for comparing the means of the two groups were utilized. Research conclusions have indicated that the main obstacles of successful implementation of the educational changes and plans and reaching desired educational objectives according to their importance are: - Lack of accepting and seeking participation at different levels of education; - Weakness of educational supervision, leadership and management; - Shortage of budget and financial inadequacies of education; - Socio-cultural problems; - Inappropriate organizational structure; - Resistance to change; - Inadequacies related to education and obstacles of changing behavior; - Lack of motivation; - Weakness of educational planning for making change.
