This is determined by chi - square ( =86.41) There was no statistically significant (p >.05) And tolerances in parameter estimation (RMSEA=0.025) Is less than .05. This research had shown that the causal factors affecting the effectiveness of private higher education institutions was in harmony with the empirical data ( =86.41,P=0.102,RMEA=0.025).
