Abstract
This article explores the relationship between levels of education on the one hand and social and national coherence on the other. Nowadays, education is a key variable in the development of social enhancement and in the growth of the social capital. Scholars in sociology regard education as one of the most important factors for the development of social awareness, social unity, and social participation.
Social Solidarity refers to the links between social networks amidst certain social actions and social actors. Social Solidarity is nowadays the center of attention as a key to success as well as a basis for social identity. This study is descriptive and the data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The population of the study included all citizens in Kashan in 2010 from which 400 were randomly selected using Cochran’s formula. The analysis of the data using SPSS revealed significant Pearson Correlation between the two key Variables (r= 0.391, P<0.01).
