Students go through 12 years of schooling with the option of attending university for 4-8 years, depending on the career pathway in which they choose. The nationally enforced curriculum, the '''Terranóc Pâtscai le Saúludec (TPS)''', is taught to students from grades 1 to 10. Students are then required take the '''Standard Abilities Exam (SAE)''' in the summer between grades 10 and 11, where they are scored on a range from 500 to 2000. Upon taking the SAE and the completion of the TPS pathway, students then spend grades 11 and 12 being tested on real world activities, such as public speaking, economics, finances, etc. Once they complete secondary education, students take part in a graduation ceremony, usually sponsored by the local government, and are recommended various universities based off of their skill level and choice of career. The literacy rate in Tierrador is 98%, however Tierradorians rank middle of the pack when it comes to education, due to high levels of corruption and many local schools that focus on the prioritization of non-educational activities, such as sports. | ||

There are close to 12,000 local community colleges with generally more open admission policies, shorter academic programs, and lower tuition. Tierrador spends one of the highest amounts on education per student than any nation in the world, spending an average of $9,794 per year on public elementary and secondary school students in the 2026–2027 school year.
