Curriculum & Programmes

All state-approved educational content is reviewed by the Curriculum Standards Committee and delivered through the National Academy platform. Local schools no longer maintain their own curriculum — the one unified curriculum applies to every citizen of the Republic, from primary entry at age six through adult continuing education.

Primary Curriculum (Ages 6–11)

340 courses covering Literacy, Numeracy, Republic History, Citizenship, and Physical Development. Mandatory for advancement to secondary education.

Secondary Curriculum (Ages 12–18)

520 courses culminating in the State Certificate of Secondary Education (SCSE). The SCSE is required for any university application, vocational apprenticeship, or Republic government employment.

Vocational Training

180 trade and technical courses aligned with Ministry of Labor workforce requirements. Successful completion issues a state-recognised trade licence and places the citizen on the Chargeability Register.

University Programmes

890 degree-level courses delivered through the Republic's eight state universities. Ministry approval required before enrolment. Foreign-authored textbooks are not permitted.

Annual Civic Education

Four mandatory modules, updated yearly, on Republic history, the philosophy of Supreme Leader Carl, civic duty, and recognition of subversive content. Non-completion is tracked by COMPASS and reported to the Ministry of Security.

Professional Development

95 courses required for ongoing Republic government employment. Certification expires after twelve months without re-attestation.

Re-Education Programmes

24 corrective courses assigned by the Ministry of Security to citizens flagged for ideological misalignment. Distinct from LOCKSTEP facility-based re-education — this is the first, less severe intervention. Repeated non-completion escalates to in-facility placement.
