Education on Sparkalia

This overview of education on Sparkalia that includes both early and late stages of education.

Primary and Secondary Education

Choslow

Education in Choslow is free and mandatory from the ages of 6 to 20. The primary education is split between three stages: Quat (similar to primary school), Quat-du (similar to secondary school), and the curriculum is based around the basic subjects of history, Crystallic and Thestrian, mathematics, magic, science, geography, and political understanding. They will be 18 when they finish those courses. Finally, there are two paths that they will take. The first path is if they showed high levels of magical apitude, they will get to go to The Octonary if they so choose. The other option is going to one of the various free city universities that each have their own specialization.

Japuile

The Grand Duchy of Japuile offers a diverse range of educational options for its citizens, with both state-run and private institutions available. The goal of both types of education is to provide the next generation with the best possible teaching, both in terms of knowledge and skills, and to prepare them for successful careers. The government provides additional funding to selected schools across the country to support this goal. Compulsory education in the Grand Duchy starts at the age of five and concludes with secondary school at the age of 18. Many parents also choose to start educating their children at home as early as two years old. The variety of schools available is extensive, including high schools, as well as specialized art schools such as music, painting and sculpting. The Grand Duchy places a high value on education in both universities and industry, recognizing the importance of both theoretical and practical skills in achieving success.

Ostrov

Ostrov has a single, comprehensive schooling system. The Ministry of Education does not set a curriculum beyond requiring that schools deliver sufficient education in Common, Lurynian and Mathematics. However, it supplies funding to schools for resources, occasionally inspects schools to ensure compliance with the basic curriculum, and administers the Leaving Examinations to all eighteen-year-old students in schools at the end of each year.

Many towns will have their own schools, both at primary and secondary level, where town-dwellers attend; they follow a loose curriculum the three mandatory subjects as well as other core subjects such as the sciences, history and geography, although many schools choose to deliver arts and physical education as well. Homeschooling is legal under the common law and practiced by many farming families; they must teach the three mandatory subjects but are not required to ensure their children take the Leaving Exams.

Most Ostrovians will end their studies aged eighteen. However, there is one small university on the island, the Polytechnic of Ostrov, which specialises in science, medicine, engineering, mathematics and economics. About 300 domestic students (a quarter of the annual cohort) are accepted for study there each year, although the vast majority of them study in in Southport, which has the best-funded schools of any town and where the University is located. 18-year-old Ostrovians who seek to attend an off-island university may do so, but must meet the other university's requirements and make their own preparations.

Nova Solarius

Education in Nova Solarius is free up to High School and ages 4-18 are mandatory to be in school, which included 1 year of college, which 17-18 year old's would attend.

Tepror

Education in tepror is entirely nationalized, however for high end education from a high end school a payment is required. But most school is free and mandatory. But in the poorer districts of tepror a free home education kit is offered, so the skimtari may continue working to fund their family.

Voidkree

In Voidkree, Primary and Secondary education are free and mandatory with Tertiary education being free but not mandatory. Most schools both have primary and secondary education with classes/grades being differentiated by a number through 1-12. Most every county in Voidkree has multiple schools located in and around the counties' capitals. These schools are pressured by the government to keep a set standards and "scores". If a school falls below either the "score" or standards it is issued a warning and a letter of guidance. If the school does not fix either of the statistics it's budget will be cut or a new school principle will be chosen along with a state mandated advisor to overlook the new administration.

Primary education involves topics both crucial to a child's future and to their creativity such as: Voiditen, Basic Mathematics, Common, Basic Literature & Writing, Arts and Craft and Physical Education. Primary education ends at around 5th grade. Secondary education involves higher range topics related to their future and possible future occupations, adding topics such as Geography & Geology, Complex Literature, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Secondary education can be optionally ended at around at the 9th grade.

Dairana

The education system of Dairana varies between provinces, they are all managed by school boards for each county/parish/borough, which oversees each school within the area. Children are required to start schooling from age 5, but parents have the choice to send children to school at 4 years of age. They then go to school until they reach the age of 18, and can seek college after, which is free of charge, and lasts for 6 years, but it is up to the student if they want to complete 2 extra years of college. Each year (grade) will introduce more advanced material suited for the year and age. Technology is used by students and teachers for work and study, though, some schools don't offer technology to students. Schooling in the nation is a little laid back compared to other systems. Usually, starting from year 6, Life skills will be taught, such as cooking, finance, among other things. Private schooling is offered in the nation, and are independent from the public school system. Most private schools in Dairana are religious, with few being secular. The private schools aren't funded from the government as much as public schools, so private schools rely off of tuition. Most school tuitions are 280,317 Tolars or $11,783 on average.

Kyldigard

The Kyldigardian pre-primary, primary, and secondary education system is standardized within each canton, with non-cantonal school systems temporarily formulated by a specially-formed education diet. Kyldigardian education is free, fully publicly-owned, and mandatory, and home-schooling is outlawed. Kyldigardian primary and secondary schools are notably strict, with self-expression being allowed but infractions of behavior being taken very seriously. Students learn fundamental concepts in mathematics, the sciences, linguistics, history, and visual arts, with a variety of different elective classes being offered and encouraged at off-site, non-age-seperated specialty campuses. Mentally disabled students are given education at alternative schools, and behaviorally malignant students are educated in corrective schools, where the element of self-expression is greatly limited to prevent difficulties teaching.

Kyldigardian tertiary school is free and split into a voluntary, career-based tutoring and mentoring education starting at the age of 18 and a university system voluntarily available to those who have successfully completed either secondary school or secondary and mentoral school after the age of 14. The largest University in Kyldigard is the University of Cured in Cured, Bemjev Canton.

It is world-renowned for its top-tier courses, professors, and lodging, and infamous for its tiny acceptance rate and non-linear path to graduation, with many students spending up to or above two decades before being allowed to graduate. Scimji College is cloaked in mystery and very closed off from the public, and while it takes in almost 1 million applications per semester, it only takes in on average 14 students per year, all of which are typically considered geniuses or prodigies. It is also the only college in Kyldigard which has proven to successfully teach Cognizant Ascension in its Magical Studies course to more than one student. It officially states that it has an acceptance rate of 0.0007%, although this number is likely much lower since most applications go unrecorded and unread.
