In our Milky Way galaxy, globular clusters tend to be at the "outlying fringes" or "halo" of the galaxy, and seem to be largely made up of very old stars.

What is an globular cluster galaxy?
A globular cluster (without "galaxy") is a large group of stars, in form of a sphere, within a galaxy. A galaxy may have thousands of such clusters. I am not sure whether the term "globular cluster galaxy" has any meaning in astronomy. It might be a galaxy with a lot of such clusters.

What has the highest amount of old stars..... An open cluster or globular cluster or association or spiral galaxy?
Whooooo there. That is a silly question. You or you teacher is forgetting about the total number of stars within a galaxy and cluster. Whilst a globular cluster has mainly older stars compared to an open cluster it will only contain a few billion stars, whereas a galaxy can have upwards of 500 billion stars, many of them old. So the answer is not definitive, but I think the answer you are looking for is global clusters.
