what is the education like in your country?

Public Schools are all intergrated of males females, and diffrent races. Many subjects provide for not only challanging acedemics but fun and intresting extra activites such as art, music, Model Parliment, Modle United Nations, (in a diffent aspect than the existing NSUN) and a soon to be Model League of Nations. Various subjects are tought for all career feilds. From Computer Sciences to Homemaking, to Farming and Fishing. And Arts such as cinema, Painting, crafting.

In the Secular Empire of Maraque our students begin their schooling at age three. During this period they will begin teaching in reading, writing, and math. As they progress through the grades they will also learn such subjects such as Domestic & International History, Science, Chemistry, Biology, Political Science, and advanced classes that teach a student for a specific profession when they advance to college after they graduate.

By the age of 7 a typical Maraquean student already has the reading, writing, and mental math capacity of a college student in other 1st world nations.

Dropout rates in the Secular Empire of Maraque are rather low; the most recent census showing only 0.15% of all students empire wide.

College education is absolutely free.

My education system is a mixture of the American system (SSATs, SATs, etc) and the Briton system (A-levels, GCSEs....you know the rest).

Mine is a combination of British and Singaporean . Which means , they start schooling at age of 3 til 6 in pre-school . Then at 7 to 12 they will be in Primary School (at 12 there will be a PSLE) , 12 - 15 they will be in Secondary School (at 15 there will be O Levels) , 16 - 18 they will be in Junior Colledge (at 17 there will be A Levels) , then at 18 they will start compulsory military training until 20 before serving in the army/navy for at least 2 more years before being able to start work immediately , continue with Army/Navy life as a Junior Officer or Start University as a under-grad .

Kraven schools teach Children patrionism, feeding them propaganada and urging them to inform The Secret Police about possible thought criminals, schools generally teach them basic information, such as Maths, English and basic Sciences, all schools are run by The Secret Police and often the schools are layed out more like a Concentration camp than a normal looking school, Headmasters (The Principle) are usually officers that have retired from active service, in the essence of it all, Kraven schools are ran like Military camps. (Imagine Nazi's Hitler youth, thats pretty much how every child is brought up in Kraven)

Read from the Ascheran Bible. That's all they do. It fields up a powerful fanatical army, so I'm happy.

Putting aside the fact that Jagada's own education budget is at an overwhelming four precent. I wanted to point out that Mationbuds, Kraven, and Jenrak--don't spend a dime on education. For Jenrak, you can get away with that with privately run religious schools. I have no idea if Mationbuds can, but I think your totaltarian so probably not. And I know Kraven doesn't allow private education (at least not on a vast scale).

This raising an interesting question--in a roleplay, if you don't spend a dime on education. How can you claim your people are uber smart?

The Indian Soviet Commonwealth incorporates vast regional differences in many specifics, hardly surprising given the size of the nation and the number of residents, but it is generally safe to call basic education communal.

Children learn a great deal of life skills in the community, and typically are more advanced than children from most other modern nations. Access to information in community libraries and the Commonwealth's intranet is really significant and very easily accessed, and there is a culture of learning, which is not hurt by the countless thousands of bards wandering the land. The open and communal nature of society limits miseducation, and encourages sociability at all ages, stimulating development. It is possibly worth noting that dietry and parenting advice et cetera is widely available.

The Commonwealth is one of those annoying nations that skews global IQ standards for everyone else.

Higher education is in 'hubs', what are often called 'university cities'. There are no conventional cities in the Commonwealth, exactly, and everyone lives in Pantisocratic Phalansteries to give them the proper name, or communes, to give them the common one. Not everybody experiences full-time higher education, but all citizens are pefectly able to use university facilities, and even to take classes that interest them.

There's a lot of informal on the job training, and most Commonwealthers end up with a range of skills.

Testing is not a big part of Soviet education, but a visit to the Commonwealth will be sufficient to convince most foreigners that most citizens there are well read and directly engaged in the political life of their nation.

Londims education is very diverse. Parents have the choice of sending their children to state school or have them home-schooled. If they choose homeschooling then they receive the curriculum for all subjects and parents teach in the way they see fit.

Children who attend school start at the age of 3 in nursery until they are 4.
From 4-11 they receive primary education in science , english, literature, mathematics, geography, history, cooking, music, PE and art.

From 11-14 students receive secondary education in subjects as listed above plus IT, Business, Design Tech, Drama and Politics. From 15 to 16 they learn of the base subjects from primary plus any subject they wish to study including:

Design Technology
Business
IT
Politics
Journalism
Media
Drama
Economics

From 16 students can leave school and get a job or carry on with studies in any 4 subjects they wish. After this they have the option of University.

The school system of Colorado and Texas as read by Mr. T
I pity da fool. The education of the citizens of Colorado and Texas along with her protecterates begins at the age of 6. The first six years are regualar American style education. When the child reaches middle school. Military history, smallarms combat and tatics are added to what is taught. The child is given his or her first Colt .45 and MP5 when he or she goes into the 8th grade. They are also sent on minor police actions. When the child has reached High School, they have regualy seen more combat then most people. In high school they get more heavy weapons training along with basic medical skills.

OOC: Sorry to go off-topic people, but Londim, are you Lindim reincarnated?

Putting aside the fact that Jagada's own education budget is at an overwhelming four precent. I wanted to point out that Mationbuds, Kraven, and Jenrak--don't spend a dime on education. For Jenrak, you can get away with that with privately run religious schools. I have no idea if Mationbuds can, but I think your totaltarian so probably not. And I know Kraven doesn't allow private education (at least not on a vast scale).

This raising an interesting question--in a roleplay, if you don't spend a dime on education. How can you claim your people are uber smart?

Very interesting question! Of course, throwing more money at education doesn't guarantee a better education. It's possible that some governments can do more with less money (though doing anything with 0% would be quite a challenge).

In my case, Romanar's budget is 5%. It has a lot of private schools, but unlike some countries, they are run by corporations, not religious groups. They provide a very good education, but there is plenty of pro-corporate bias, and the poor people get the short end, as usual.

OOC: Nope never heard of them

In Morotania, there is presently a split of the 12 states that make up the Commonwealth. Locals describe it as the "North-South" divide. In the North of Morotania, education is longer and has more of a military feel to it. Pupils are legally required to start at age four and finish at age eighteen.

In the South, education is less important given the fact that most of the skilled jobs are to be found in the North. This automatically gives Southern Morotanics less of a chance to find a job outside of the Southern States. However, Pupils are legally required to start at age three and finish at age 15.

Well , we count our education in our defence budget because our young ones are schooled in Military Schools where they will learn what odinary school teaches them PLUS some basic military training . After their schooling they will move to more advanced military training .

Well , my education funding is in my defence budget because they attend state run military schools . During schooling , they will learn what other students normally learn PLUS some military knowledge and training . After their schooling they will move on to more advanced military training .
