Education in Urcea: Difference between revisions

In Urcea, K-12 education is divided into two sections, called "sextets" for grade groupings. Structurally, each sextet is responsible for conferring different subjects but also includes {{wp|catechesis|catechetical}} education classes at each grade level. In addition to the core basics of each sextet's areas, various history and Urcean literature courses are included at varied grade intervals. Most grade levels also include a remedial material course, which ensures students remain a level of familiarity with material learned at lower levels, especially materials taught at grade intervals. Remedial material courses are graded on a student's grasp on the sum total of all knowledge acquired so far in their academic career, and is considered the most important class for the purposes of a student's overall yearly grade.  

Kindergarten is not considered part of either Sextet but is typically grouped in with the First Sextet and Kindergarten classes are taught on the same physical grounds as the First Sextet. Kindergarten is designed to teach or reinforce the basic "mechanical foundations of a sound education", which includes basic math and reading skills in addition to an age appropriate supplementary religious education which is designed with the presumption that most students have already received basic religious education from both the Church and their family. Kindergarten is typically for students beginning at ages 4 and 5 and is designed to provide context and basic tools through which the First Sextet can be understood. History classes are included in all thirteen grade levels, though only become major areas of study beginning in the Second Sextet. Physical school buildings and campuses are divided by Sextets and are functionally considered separate "schools".
