Therefore, it is very important to determine the quality of education because education expenditures made by the households constitute a large part of the total education expenditures. In this study, the factors affecting the education expenditures of the households in Erzurum in the level of secondary school were tried to be determined. At the same time, the types of education expenditures were also discussed. The data obtained from the study were obtained by the questionnaire which was created by the researcher and applied to 807 households. Data were analyzed by Multiple Regression Model. In order to determine whether the variables are normally distributed, the Pearson Collectivity Test was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between the normality test, dependent and independent variables, and to determine the variables to be included in the model. In order to determine the deviations from the least squares method assumptions; VIF, Durbin Watson d-statistic values are examined. According to the results obtained; it was determined that the student's gender, the student's level of the grade, the mother's education level, the father's education level, the age of the mother, the number of students in the household, the average monthly income of the family had a positive effect on the amount of education expenditure.
