Education in Malgrave

Education in Malgrave is compulsory from birth until the age of 18. It is provided by public schools overseen by the Ministry of Education and Regional Social Solidarity Councils. Malgrave performs well in metrics related to literacy, mathematics and the sciences and the country has one of the highest-educated workforces in Mystria.

While education is not compulsory after finishing school, a considerable amount of social pressure is placed behind continuing the educational journey and enrolling at university. A university education is regarded as a major priority for Malgravean families, as success in higher education is seen as critical for ensuring one's long-term success and guaranteeing employment at a decent company like MalPha or MalTec.

In some families academic success is often a source of pride, with many parents displaying their child's academic achievements, although, this is a viewpoint that is actively discouraged by the Ancestral Study Group it still exists in many parts of the country, especially, in parents referred to in society as Otter Parents due to their constant emphasis on high academic performances and monitoring of their childs behaviour.

As a result students are often faced with incredible pressure from society, teachers and their parents to succeed academically at school and those that don't enter into university or trade schools have reported lower life prospects and form of social prejudice which has been linked to the fact many students suffer with mental health problems and stress issues.

Malgrave invests considerable resources in education, as a result Malgravean schools are well-resourced and often equipped with the latest technology from firms like MalTec and MalPha.
