Education in the Mutul is organized in a highly centralized manner and piloted by the Tz'akab of Education. It is divided into the three stages of primary education, secondary education, and higher education, with two separate cursus: one for commoners,the Ch'ok Nah , and the other for the aristocracy, the Nawi. School is mandatory from 11 to 20 years old. Younger children are not mandated to join their local "Communal School" and familial instruction is legal, but children nonetheless have to present themselves regularly at the Communal School to test their progress.
There are currently 25 millions students in the Mutul, a fifth of the total population. In 2009, the whole system costed 600 billions Baats, or 120 billions solidus, around 6% of the total GDP of the Divine Kingdom.
The Mutulese education is famed for its difficulty and strict control over the sutdent's live. Boarding is mandatory, and the school year is rythmed by religious rituals, physical activities, classes, and Evaluations. Corporal punishments are still practiced, as well as self-sacrificing (which is part of the Religious education. Punishments are especially harsh in the Nawi, especially toward students from noble lineages. Students from lower status allowed to join a Nawi are mostly kept in line by threats of expulsion.
Despite efforts made to include more and more students from poorer situations into Nawi, the system remain a vector of social inequality, as Ch'ok Nahob teach mostly practical skills and aim for an immediate integration of their students on the job market, while gaining a grant for a Nawi remain one of the best ways to climb the social ladder. Such grants are accessible only the students who have been especially brilliant during their Evaluations and have been recommended by their teachers. Another possibility for commoners is, after they finished their cursus, to go through a Nawi's Annual Examination. Hundred of thousands of Mutuleses attempt each year such an Examination, but only around 10% are allowed to join a Nawi.
Laws regulating the system of education include the; Regulation on Academic Degrees, the Teachers Law, the Education Law, and the Laws on Religious Education.
