Education in Heldervin is largely provided publically, funded and overseen by the federal and county governments. The state oversees the curriculum and standardized tests, while school assignment, student transportation, and end of grade assessments are overseen by the local county. The scope of educational institutions includes primary, secondary, and university; all colleges are free to create their own curriculums, but are still largely funded by the government. The minimum age of graduating secondary school is 18, though students can be held back if they do not grasp the curriculum as necessary.
Approximately 94% of adults have gone through the education system. Education in Heldervin is currently overseen by the Minister of Education. Private primary and secondary schools must first be accredited for students to enroll in them; the average accreditation rate of said schools is only 71%.
History
19th century
The newly unified cities of Heldervin encouraged citizens to support free education by making regular donations. The province of Huttuino took the lead as the pioneer of Heldervinian education, establishing a master curriculum that gained traction throughout Heldervin. Teachers across the nation were specially trained to teach all grades, as well as having access to the curriculum at all times.
In the late 19th century, the rapidly increasing population led to the further enforcement of the curriculum across the Superior Monarchy; however, although supportive of the improvement of education, the government lacked the power to fully enforce any school policies, leading to various incidents. As such, the nation created the National Department of Foreign Relations to deal with this. In 1897, laws were passed that allowed the state to use tax money to fund education.
