Abstract: The effective provision of public education service delivery is very important for all countries. It is especially important for Türkiye as the country faces a possibility of getting stuck in the middle-income trap. The country spends a large sum of budgetary resources on public education. However, the determination of the resource envelope at the provincial level does not take local socio-economic and demographic dynamics into account. We analyze the determinants of public education spending at the provincial level for the period of 2008-2021. Our findings suggest that the economic composition of provinces together with the student-teacher ratio and enrollment rate influence the resource needs for education services. However, there is a discrepancy between primary and secondary education in terms of student-teacher ratio and enrollment rate as they influence the outcome in different directions.
