Desert schools in Qeelsia

Desert schools, officially called Mureso-Ilur (Education (in) Sand) are a traditional schooling system in Qeelsia, Haklasia and Kalasia in which pupils between the ages of 10 to 17 live in, are educated in, and learn about the Livian deserts. The schooling system is mentioned in some of the earliest Qeelsian sources, and have remained popular into modern times.
While modern systems include conventional schooling such as Qeelsian grammar and language, mathematics and history, the traditional classes on survival in the desert are still the main focus. Traditionally, desert schools are portable, consisting of tents and other temporary dwelling places, and have 6 elders who teach between 40 and 60 students.
Students learn how to survive the sun, how to use camels and other livestock, how to locate water, how to avoid desert predators, and other practical skills like making fires, foraging for food, and more. While the need for these practical skills are largely unnecessary in modern times, Qeelsian culture puts an emphasis on self-reliance and overcoming struggle, and as such, the schools remain the most popular schooling systems in Qeelsia.
