education costs
Price of schooling
Education costs are the expenses associated with schooling or training—tuition, fees, books, supplies, and related living expenses.
The term appears frequently in discussions of college affordability and student debt: Rising education costs have outpaced inflation for decades.
Parents may save for future education costs through dedicated accounts.
The phrase often implies these expenses are burdensome or excessive.
