Education in Hestrova

Greater Hestrova
Education in Hestrova consists of Preschool, Primary School and High School. All three levels of education are provided free by the government, as stated within the constitution. This however does not exist for all classes provided within schools. "Core classes" are free, while "after hours" and "personal interest" classes are to be paid for by either the student attending the class or his/hers parent/legal guardian.

As a result of emphasis on science and technology in education, Hestrovan medical, mathematical, and scientific research is generally of a high order.

As far as education goes, Hestrovan educational facilities place an emphasis on teaching what they regard as "important" and "necessary" classes/skills. Anything else is regarded as non-central to the country and it's well being.

Higher education, such a universities, are however not free to students, and must be paid for by either the student or another party. Hestrova has the most university-level or higher graduates in terms of percentage of population in the world, at 50%.

According to the 2017 World University Rankings, the highest-ranking Hestrovan educational institution is Hess Grand University, rated 93rd in the world.

Haldu
Education within Haldu is quite different to the neighboring regions to the west and south.

All education levels, for most regions, are not free. In certain settlements/regions, education may be provided free by tribal Helkuns and elders. Most Haldulians are generally home schooled until around age 8. At this age, the children attend local schools within the areas they reside (villages, cities, towns, etc). In some regions children attend a form of preschool/kindergarten, like the children outside of Haldu.

Following the completion of their native versions of the three basic school levels, Haldulians will be required to attend further education outside of Haldu, if they choose to do so, as higher education does not exist within the region.
