Student participation in the governance structure within the university is one of the most important issues that the world's leading academic systems have considered for many years. However, this field has been neglected in the domestic research literature. However, this study aims to analyze students' role in governance within the university.

This qualitative research has been compiled with a Conventional Content Analysis strategy. The statistical population of this study consists of Ph.D. students in higher education in all fields in Tehran, Shahid Beheshti, and Allameh Tabatabai universities, who were selected from the mentioned universities using a sampling strategy with a maximum variety of 35 Ph.D. students. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews

In the Findings, the section of barriers for students to participate in six main components; Inefficiency of the governance of the educational system; Intra-academic non-academic governance; Improper teaching and learning system; Dysfunctional rules and regulations; Students' non-participation in governance and cultural weakness was achieved with thirteen subcomponents. Then, corresponding to these six components, strategies for accelerating students' participation in governance within the university were summarized in the form of six main components with thirteen sub-components. Finally, based on the findings, policy recommendations for the Iranian higher education system are stated.

The role of students in governance within the university is an important issue that has been neglected in the domestic research literature. All students participating in this study emphasized the importance of this issue. However, about 38% of students have no experience in participating in university decisions. Accordingly, the findings of this study provide a general representation of the losers and facilitators of student participation in governance that can be the basis for policy in this area.

The mission and functions of each research institute are different. One of the challenges that research institutes face is the same process of recruiting, promoting, and services compensating their faculty members regardless of the mission of each institute. Therefore, the existence of a common standard for evaluating all faculty members is far from reality and can reduce the quality of the institutions' achievements. Thus, the aim of the study was to design a pattern for attracting, promoting, and services compensating for faculty members according to the mission-oriented framework of each research institution.

To achieve this aim, a qualitative survey research method of deductive type was used. The study population included all the faculty members working in Iran's research institutions, from which 50 people were selected as a sample.  The tool used in the study was an open-ended questionnaire,

deductive content analysis was used to analyze the data. To accredit the patterns obtained, we used a focus group method. Hence, 11 specialists in the fields of recruitment and promotion in each of the five institutions were selected as participants in the focus group.

Conclusions and suggestions:

The findings of the study showed that some of the extracted indicators and components are common in each of the five patterns. Therefore, a common conceptual model was obtained for all institutions, in addition, five patterns based on the characteristics and mission of each of the institutions were obtained. Finally, based on the findings, four scenarios were presented to achieve mission orientation in research institutions

The first aspect of educational poverty is school dropout. Literacy is the main condition for human empowerment in the face of the new world, life without a level of education and literacy, faces many difficulties. Illiteracy is the cause and persistence factor of many social ills. The first and most important step in solving any problem is to know it, and to be aware of its distribution in the country.

In this regard, the present article to spatially analyze children dropped out of school in the counties and provinces of the country, uses the secondary analysis of census data (2016). ArcGIS and SPSS software were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the two important variables of employment and marital status of children based on gender are significantly different. Also, based on the results of the Moran test and the Gi index, the children dropped out of school rate strongly tends to concentrate and cluster in space. Border counties, especially in the southeast and northwest, are strongly affected by the high rate of school dropouts, while the central regions of the country have the lowest dropout rates. This pattern of distribution is completely in line with the pattern of development of the regions of the country.

Conclusions and suggestions:

 It can be said that any planning and investment in this issue should be done according to regional differences. Balanced sociology-economic development in the country is the most important way out of this social problem.
