The Imperial Education System

### Pre-Imperial Era

When the Imperial Movement started in 2056, many wondered if it were to succeed if there were to be any amendments to the current education system, and if a universal one would be implemented. Arya, who was running for the role of emperor did not make any statements on such plans. But he certainly had them. Arya was by no means a fan of the current education system, especially the immense hours of religious education which he viewed as a waste. He saw subjects such as Art and Drama which he ironically both studied and got rather good grades in as useless and distracting students from their potential. He was horrified to find, when he moved to America that RE had only intensified and Catholism as a practice was far more used. When asked about it in interviews and announcements he would simply say "It will be far better, and it will finally unlock the potential of all people regardless of mental ability."

### Early Days

When the Empire was founded in 2062, the education of youngsters was primarily in Arya's list. However, he could not implement much change as the state of the newly formed world power was very fragile and even one crack would destroy it completely. He simply sent letters to all state funded schools about the new change and required them to pledge allegiance. Many accepted, but a few shut down refusing to accept the new empire. The children that were part of what was eventually called a "Relic School" simply resorted to home-schooling or went to other state funded schools. As for funding of schools, the Imperial economy was in terrible shape and wall street relied on huge numbers of tax from healthcare and immigration profits. The funding to every school was decreased to $189.7 from $274.4 billion dollars which caused many schools to simply shut down due to not being able to keep up with costs.

This was viewed as a very dark time for students and generally those born in this time. The Empire temporarily made schooling optional to combat high numbers and this somewhat worked. It however decreased the average IQ by around 0.342.

### The Roaring 70s

Due to immense economic growth via a new taxing strategy, the imperial economy boomed and salaries came to an all-time high. Healthcare improved substantially and over a million schools reopened in 2072 due to increased funding by the Empire. Now all schools got a whopping $390 billion dollars, over a 100 billion dollar increase from before imperial rein. Schooling was made required once more and the average iq increased by around 10 to 110 IQ. Teachers were given better salaries of at least a $15,000 increase. It was in 2074, when Arya finally laid his solid plan for the Imperial Education System.

### Elementary School

Instead of education starting at the age of 5, effective from 2075, the young age of 2 would be when schooling would start. Schooling was from 10:00am until 1:30pm.

2-5 Years Old: Basic numbers, alphabet, literacy and the very basic fundamentals of math.

5-7 Years Old: Literacy and basic mathematical equations (eg. 28 x 94 & x(a + c) )

### Middle School

Middle school started at the age of 7 and carried on until you were 13 years old. Hours were from 04:30 to 10:30AM You could optionally take the Besuited Diploma, which meant instead of ending school at 10:30AM you would carry on with solely computer science, math and literacy until 3:30PM. People who took this programme endured tiring hours and boredom but it would reward them with an over 75% chance of gaining a high-income job. Yes, that was how impressively it was considered by interviewers. You could be expelled from this programme if performance was not optimal. It did not come at an extra cost.

7-10: Complex mathematical equations, pythonic language and JavaScript, artificial intelligence creation and development, law and literacy and the introduction of physics and chemistry. Debating, Political Speaking and Theatre were required extra-curricular activities for all schools to implement but student activity was optional.

7-10 Years Old: Advanced numbers and advanced mathematical equations. Introduction to computer science and complex pythonic code and language.

10-13: Algebraic geometry, AI development, Advanced Physics and Chemistry and introduction of Biology, advanced law and literacy. Cloning and embryonic studies. Computer science and differentiation of components.

### High School

High School went from the age of 13 to 18. Hours were slightly harsher starting at 08:00-15:00, but the Besuited Diploma was still in action with hours from 08:00-18:00 This time saw the start of a 5-year programme called the Imperial Bacclarette. This would be the most important and only official academic exams of your entire schooling. It would decide completely if you would be able to even have the possibility of going to college, let alone gaining a low-income job. Math, Law, Computer Science, Science, Literacy and AI Development and Creation were all required. You could choose a total of 7 options, exams being: Political Science,
