Qualitative findings through deep- interview with three target groups including active founder, non- active founder and experts on non-government schools office in four geographic regions of the country were collected. Analysis of results provides a Semantic Model for explanation of stop factors of non-government schools. Based on the model, causal, grounded and interventional conditions and their interaction developed the phenomenon of "competitor schools". Then to deal with this situation, the interviewees admitted three different strategies of acceptance, resistance, and submission. The final stage was shown that each of these strategies have different outputs.
