JSEC

JSEC, officially the Jonathian Standard Education Curriculum, is the official school qualification in Jonathia. Created in 1976 under the government of Michael Richardson, JSEC establishes the curriculum of all education subjects for all school year levels. Its creation replaced the previous National Education System. The Department of Education administers JSEC, though the various provinces of Jonathia are allowed to have a say on what parts of JSEC they have to administer.
JSEC is split into two different levels for both primary/intermediate schools and high schools, known officially as first-level JSEC and second-level JSEC. Universities are exempt from JSEC; instead, they set their own curriculums. Second-level JSEC contains four major exams per year, the first three of which serve as end of topic tests, while the fourth and final test serves as the overall exam. Students earn credits from this depending on how well they did. A student needs at least 80 to pass JSEC in a certain year level.
JSEC has for a long time received criticism for it's lack of flexibility. It has also been criticised for it's difficulty, putting the intellectually disabled and those with learning issues at a disadvantage. Major reforms of JSEC have frequently happened under various governments, most recently in 2021 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
