Progress of a nation is determined by the ability of its human resources in mastering science and technology. Science literacy has an important role for students to prepare the quality of Indonesian human resources in the future. The objective of the study was to identify the socio economic variables that predicted the students science literacy in Indonesia in reference to PISA 2015. The data were taken from PISA 2015 involving those in fifteen year old. The samples of the study consisted of 6,513 students spread throughout Indonesia. Regression analysis showed that parents providing learning facilities to children have the most significant relationship to science literacy results, while the amount of wealth, occupation, and level of parental education are not related to childrens science literacy. The research concluded that parents as educators have an important role in the future of children, one of them through giving learning facilities such as providing learning tools, supporting books, computers at home.
