The foundations for the modern Meronnian system of education were laid by the legislation of Valéry Bassot, the Captain of the Chamber of Deputies from 1807-1819. In 1861, First Deputy Marian Blanchard standardized the system of free and compulsory education in Meronnia. While there are systems of private schools in Meronnia, as well as Communal schools, the Meronnian education system is nonetheless centralized, with the Bureau of Education having a dominant role in determining the curriculum, verifying academic records, and enforcing regulations.
Education in Meronnia has three mandatory divisions, and a total of five. These are Préparation Préscolaire, École Élémentaire, Collège, École Supérieure, and Enseignement Supérieur. Préparation Préscolaire and Enseignement Supérieur, while non-mandatory, are taken up by a large portion of Meronnians at the appropriate age.
