The Agency for Academic Standards is the part of the Office for Primary and Secondary Education (OPSE) responsible for creating academic standards and regulations for every public school in Urcea, which are administered by local authorities. The head of the Agency, the Superintendent of National Academic Standards, is appointed by the Abbot-Rector with the approval of the Chancellor and Temporary President of the Concilium Daoni. The Agency promulgates annual rules and regulations for conditions in Urcea's schools, minimum performance standards, and established general guidelines for curriculum in consultation with the Chamber of Regents of the Collegium Scientificum. The curriculum standards imposed by the Agency are not specific beyond general concepts and ideas that must be taught, though the standards include a short list of works of literature that must be included in an education at various grade levels, such as ''Republic, Utopia'', and other fundamental classics. Since the abolition of the ''Index Librorum Prohibitorum'', the Agency has also issued lists of books which should not be kept in school libraries depending on the level of education. The Collegium Scientificum itself specifically retains copies of these "regulated books" in its campus libraries, albeit in a specifically marked section of said libraries. | The Agency for Academic Standards is the part of the Office for Primary and Secondary Education (OPSE) responsible for creating academic standards and regulations for [[Education in Urcea|every public school]] in Urcea, which are administered by local authorities.
