Education

Education was a department of the Coalition for Progress, a part of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order within the Galactic Empire. The department was tasked with ensuring that learning institutions such as schools, colleges, and universities aligned with the Empire's recommended teaching curriculums and research topics. The department had jurisdiction across the galaxy and its role proved a balancing act at times due to academics' tendencies to undertake projects with unclear outcomes and disappear down tangents. The historian Beaumont Kin mentioned the department in hisStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY.
