Abstract: Undoubtedly, human capital can be considered as the main sources of economic development in each country. The human capital provides the better use of physical capital and promotes social relations. One of the most common types of human capital is education. The study of literature in this filed shows that the education has a significant positive impact on economic growth. Investment in elementary, guidance and high schools are fundamental aspects of education. Therefore, with consider to the importance of investing in education, planning for education and development of educational levels, is also important. However, the differences between living places of people could be considered as the main factors which increase educational inequality. In other words, the amount of enjoyment of people from educational facilities is depending on their living place characteristics. Accordingly, this study attempts to investigate the development degree in the counties of Esfahan province of Iran in terms of educational indices. The results indicate that the development degrees of the counties have fluctuated during the 2007-2010 significantly. These reflect the instability in the distribution of educational facilities in Esfahan province.
