Education

Liruzon

Schooling typically begins the first day (1 Ilgimer) of the calendar year after a child turns seven years old. The school year itself is split into four terms: winter, spring, summer, and fall. While Ilgimer and Njuimer constitute the totality of calendar winter and summer respectively, the year is divided into four equal parts for the sake of schooling.

Each term lasts for two months, less three weeks to allow for a 24-day break between terms (school days cancelled due to weather or other concerns may be compensated for here) (totalling 97 or 98 days throughout the year). Because there are no weekends in school, this means that there are precisely 204 school days in a given year.

A child graduates primary school after completing Year 8, usually at 14 or 15 years old, and then moves onto secondary education, which provides a more personalized approach to learning, allowing the child to receive certifications in a chosen field of study.

Secondary education is technically optional, but the vast majority of people attend secondary school for either another 4 or 8 years following completing Year 8.

At 24, an individual is considered an adult.

In primary school, the school day lasts for five hours (12:30 to 5:30 PM), and there are thus five classes taken in any given term.

In every two term period, a child should take:

• A physical activity class (P.E.)
• A "common knowledge" class
• A math class
• A reading/language class (years 1-4)
• Two "creative" classes (of some variety).
• A history class
• A class in a scientific field
• 2-3 classes of the student's choice
