Summary/Abstract: The issue that is more or less current in all the areas of the globe, hence, an issue with a planetary character, should not remain on the margins of interest to the Bosnian intellectual or political elite. The public probably did not grasp the importance of all processes in which it is directly or indirectly involved without even realizing it. The consequences of countless processes will be recognizable only in ten years or more, yet they will, whether we like it or not, become a part of the social reality. By then it will be too late for major repairs if these and similar effects happen to be an obstacle to social development, hence, a timely and high quality analytical and critical approach to all processes that have become a part of reality of the Bosnian society is necessary. The text that follows is too small a space for a quality and more thorough elaboration of this social phenomenon and, therefore, I shall try to outline some important features regarding the globalization processes and education, which, certainly, deserve and require more analytical space. The text will, therefore, justify its purpose if it succeeds to arouse even a sporadic interest of those responsible for the social reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The relationship between globalization processes and education is multidimensional and in this way cannot be considered in all its comprehensiveness, thus the most important segments; economical, political, and informational-communicational changes will be determined. Th e Bologna process will be mentioned, but also the changes in culture and tradition caused by the globalization processes.
