There are a some schools that have PhD programs in Education or related fields, but I think most people working in education, who are actually teachers or school administrators, get D.Ed which is Doctor of Education. The D.Ed is not as prestigious as the PhD but it can usually be done more quickly and it has more relevance to the actual day-to-day working of a school.
I know several school principals who have earned their D Ed while they were working. It is very hard to get a PhD at a respected university as a part time student.

PhD
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy, a higher degree than an Honours or Masters degree, involving at least two and a half years of supervised research resulting in a thesis. PhD graduates may call themselves “Dr”.
