State-funded education is free of charge and required for children from ages 5 to 18. 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 '''Plan de Estudios de Tierradoria (PET)''', is taught to students from grades 1 to 10. Students are then required take the '''Examen de Habilidades Escolares (EHE)''' in the summer between grades 10 and 11, where they are scored on a range from 500 to 2000. Upon taking the EHE and the completion of the PET 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.
