Education is crucial to both individual and social development. While the increase in personal income as a result of increasing awareness of people and productivity based on productivity can be an example of individual development, the decrease in crime rate in society, unemployment and poverty reduction, democratization, increase in environmental consciousness and economic growth can be given as examples of social development. When the development and enrichment processes of developed countries are examined, it can be seen that these processes are full of new discoveries and scientific discoveries brought by education. Education, along with health, is among the semi-public goods and services in the theory of public economy. In other words, the state has to offer this service, but the private sector can offer this service for a fee and under state control. The concept of human capital referred to educated people has been used frequently in literature in recent years and the necessity for development of a country is emphasized. In this sense, education also includes many benefits for the individual and society. Turkey is a developing country and allocates more resources to education from public and private sectors with a total national income each year. However, as a result of this resource spent on education, it is important to observe the changes in social development and social development levels, especially the success levels of students. In this study, judging by the level of resources allocated to education in Turkey recently and tangible achievement data obtained as a result, it was tried to be analysed by making international comparisons.
