History of Education in North Ottonia
Modern Education in North Ottonia
The North Ottonian standard school system operates in three stages.
Primary School
Primary School consists of five academic years, with children of age 5 enrolling and graduating at age 11.
Lower Secondary School
Lower Secondary School consists of five academic years, with students from ages 11 thru 16. When a child completes Lower Secondary School, they have completed the extent of their mandatory education. However, in practice the vast majority of students enroll in and complete Upper Secondary School.
Upper Secondary School
Upper Secondary School consists of four academic years, encompassing students between 16 and 20 years of age. Here, education starts to become more specialized, and a wider range of electives and pre-professional education is available to students. In practice at least 90% of North Ottonian children enroll in an Upper Secondary school, and while many opt to drop out at age 18, the vast majority graduate.
