 The [[Ministry of Education (Caphiria)|Ministry of Education]] sets overall educational standards, though private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing policies, with mandatory accreditation and regulation from the Ministry. This allows for more "creative" and "third wave" educational systems to have the chance to develop on top of the already established educational standards. By law, education is compulsory over the age of 3 and ends at 16. The public education system in Caphiria is highly complex and segmented, operated jointly by provincial and local governments. The educational stages are: Children's School (''discatorium''), Core Education (''regulatorium''), University (''universalis''), and Academy (''Academiae'').
-A curriculum is arranged in six 9-week terms separated by three weeklong vacations. A term is closed by testing students' knowledge of the compulsory material learned that term. Tests for the advanced courses can be taken anytime during the last two years of the core curriculum. The results of any tests taken by a student are merely used to show the school which area of higher education, if any, they should encourage for the particular student. Marks for compulsory courses are also used to distribute students evenly by aptitude across the different higher schools. There are no strict entry criteria and most students get into places of their choice.
+Standard curriculums are arranged in 5 semesters lasting 9 weeks each and each semester has a different amount of vacation days: the first two semesters have 10 days each of vacation days, the third semester has 20 days; the fourth has 7 days, and the last semester has 23 days. A term is closed by testing students' knowledge of the compulsory material learned that term. Tests for the advanced courses can be taken anytime during the last two years of the core curriculum. The results of any tests taken by a student are merely used to show the school which area of higher education, if any, they should encourage for the particular student. Marks for compulsory courses are also used to distribute students evenly by aptitude across the different higher schools. There are no strict entry criteria and most students get into places of their choice.
-Higher education is done in either academies (''academiae'') or universities (''universales''), whether one wants to receive an Academy Degree and become a Doctor (PhD) or not respectively. While attending a grammaticus is compulsory for all citizens, higher education can be avoided in order to take an apprenticeship in manual work. At this level, courses are distinguished into the classical branches of philosophy. Graduating as a doctor in one's field is not only prestigious but beneficial for one's career as well. Modern lawyers, senators, medical doctors, scientists, generals and economists are almost unanimously doctores. There's no distinct school system for medicine or law as these already have academies like other subjects
+Once a student completes their final exam (''matura regulatori'') at age 16, they are technically adult citizens and are finished with compulsory education, and are given four options with how to continue forward: they may elect to enroll in advanced courses in calculus, international economics, Caphirian and international politics, anatomy, modern physics, industrial chemistry, biochemistry, metaphysics, manual work or other languages (''declararimaticus''); they may choose to continue into voluntary secondary education (''agnatumaticus'').; they may enlist into the [[Imperial Armed Forces of Caphiria|Imperial Armed Forces]] to serve a mandatory ''lustum''; or they may find an apprenticeship or join a guild. Both educational options are optional and add an additional two or four years respectively to the compulsory educational experience.
