'''Education in Cartadania''' is mandatory for children between ages 5/6 and 17/18 depending on when in the year they were born. It governs the sectors of early childhood education (anteprimaria) and primary education (primary schools), followed by secondary education (high schools), and tertiary or higher education (universities and vocational education). Early childhood education is provided for all children between one and five years old, after which school attendance is compulsory. The school year in Cartadania varies from state to state, but typically runs from mid–late January to early/mid–December. As Cartadania is primarily in the southern hemisphere, the Winter holiday runs from early/mid May to early/mid-August, also separating the school year into two semesters, while the Summer holiday, which includes Christmas, runs from early/mid December to early/mid January February and marks the end of the academic year.
