The Kiravian Union is credited with greatly expanding working-class Kiravians' access to higher education through its grand expansion of public universities and bureaucratic regularisation of admissions processes at major established universities, which came under varying degrees of state control or influence. Eight in ten public universities in Kiravia today were founded during Kirosocialist rule. As part of the "Democratization Campaign in Education" (''Thāruārkaktorpistran Léisagrenē''), the government officially banished High Coscivian, previously the main language of academia in the country, from higher education, as well as vernacular languages at the "ethnic colleges". However, this effort was only partially successful. Tuition at public universities was free to the children of peasants, workers, and soldiers. New public colleges during this era were the first to be built with institutional dormitories, and room and board were subsidised for students from working families, while at preëxisting state universities and the old establishmentarian colleges equivalent services were provided mainly by student unions. | The Kiravian Union is credited with greatly expanding working-class Kiravians' access to higher education through its grand expansion of public universities and bureaucratic regularisation of admissions processes at major established universities, which came under varying degrees of state control or influence.

In Kiravian higher education, degrees are not awarded for the satisfactory completion of credit-hours (this is usually a prerequisite for graduation, but not always), but rather for a "demonstration" (High Coscivian: ''uordhír'') showing consummate mastery of course material. Depending on the institution and course of study, this could take the form of ''anoþeruorden'' (an oral examination by senior faculty) or an ''ifórgotra'' (a written thesis).

Depending on the institution and course of study, this could take the form of ''anoþeruorden'' (an oral examination by senior faculty) or an ''ifórgotra'' (a written thesis). Under the Kiravian Union, the ''anoþeruorden'' was discontinued for undergraduates outside of a few historically Eshavian and Kandan universities in the Northeast (it would persist at medical and law schools), and the ''ifórgotra'' became standard. To maintain state accreditation, theses had to conform to a strict ideological rubric and were evaluated in large part for their application of socialist theory to the subject matter. | ||

Based on the belief that linguistic diversity was a hindrance to national and proletarian unity and that diglossia among multiple dialects and literary registers of Kiravic was a retrograde holdover from the country's hierarchical past, the Kirosocialist government vigorously promoted monolingualism among the Coscivian population, suppressing regional, local, and ethnic vernaculars and the levelling of Kiravic dialects. It also curtailed the use of [[High Coscivian]] in higher education and the publication of new books in the language, in addition to banishing High Coscivian formulae from state ceremonies and quietly scrapping High Coscivian mottoes of government agencies. In order to promote literacy in the sole national language among non-native speakers and purge Kiravian letters of perceived bourgeois and reactionary elements, the Union promoted the use of [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Standard Kiravic]], a different written standard from traditional Literary Kiravic designed to be more regular, more "modern", and more accessible to the less educated and non-native speakers. Although these policies had only a limited effect on major regional languages like Southern Coscivian and West Coast Marine Coscivian, their impact on ethnic languages spoken in the cities was considerable. Even many urban centres in non-Kiravic-speaking areas, such as [[ | Based on the belief that linguistic diversity was a hindrance to national and proletarian unity and that diglossia among multiple dialects and literary registers of Kiravic was a retrograde holdover from the country's hierarchical past, the Kirosocialist government vigorously promoted monolingualism among the Coscivian population, suppressing regional, local, and ethnic vernaculars and the levelling of Kiravic dialects.

The régime was more accommodating toward non-Coscivian minority languages and launched language development initiatives for Urom languages like Qódava. It also supported education and public services in the Pretannic language, as Welsh-Kiravians were ardent supporters of Kirosocialism and many high-ranking Party members, such as Secretary-General Rŵlan Jones, were native Welsh speakers. Gaelic education outside of Gaelic-majority areas was shut down and many Gaelic institutions of higher education were shut down or subjected to interference by the authorities, but the Kirosocialists quickly abandoned programmes to shift Gaelic-speaking areas to Kiravic as impractical. | The régime was more accommodating toward non-Coscivian minority languages and launched language development initiatives for Urom languages like Qódava.
