The aim of this study is to design an inclusive talent management model in the educational system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and the thematic analysis method. Sampling was performed through the snowball technique, and 15 experts in the field of human resources (including both academic and non-academic professionals) were selected as participants. The data collection instrument consisted of semi-structured interviews, which continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, resulting in the extraction of four categories: "institutional environment," "organizational context of the education system," "inclusive talent management," and "outcomes." These were further divided into eight organizing themes and 26 basic themes. By presenting a comprehensive model of inclusive talent management, this study provides a practical framework for policymakers and managers in the educational system to enhance the system’s productivity and efficiency through the identification, development, and optimal utilization of talents. The findings of this research can serve as a guide for improving human resource management at the national level.
