Among the issues related to the development of the country, education is one of the basic principles and the tree of development. The educational system of the society is considered as one of the main pillars in realizing this goal and achieving social justice. Rural areas, with a population of 20 million, are considered as one of the main spots of production and human resources in the country. It is important to provide this large group with proper training.

In these studies, there are 29 indicators in the education criteria that are extracted through desk studies. These criteria include educational programs (Ep), teaching and learning environment (Le), research (Re), social services (Ss), teachers (Te). Environmental criteria include social and institutional environment (Se), economic environment (Ec) and natural and physical environment (NE). The model incompatibility is equal to 0.08 and the system stability in MicMac software is equal to 96%, which indicates the appropriateness and reliability of the partnership.
