Education is one of the important elements in the formation and development of civilizations, and the transmission of cultural teachings and concepts, which involves many factors in its rise and fall. During the Qajar era, educational institutions and religious schools developped in the country, especially in Mazandaran that its clear example is Asefiyeh school in Barforoosh. This article aims to answer this question: what factors have influenced the rise and fall of the activities of the religious school of Asefiyeh Barforoosh (present Babol) through a descriptive-analytical approach relying on historical sources and revisiting endowment and other documents. The objective has been to identify influential factors on the foundation, evolution, and decline of that school. The hypothesis relies on the point that besides Mirza Mohammad Shafie Mazandarani's support, political, cultural, and social changes occurred in Mazandaran after him, especially in Barforoosh, had a significant impact on the rise and fall of this school activities. .
