In Cartadania, education is the responsibility of the states (Estados) and part of their constitutional sovereignty. Teachers are licensed and, in some states, conditionally employed by the Department of Education for the state, while in others they are employed by the school district or school itself. Some states even have laws that grant a teacher a job for life after a certain period. This practice varies within states and many are currently changing their procedures and requirements. In most cases, 9 out of 10 teachers will hold a master's degree, as this is the requirement in all but three states. On the district level, a parents' council may be elected to voice the parents' views to the school's administration, but these are not present in all states. Some states also have a student form, such as in Alexandria, Triessa, and Verona, where each class elects one or two class presidents; if two are elected usually one is male and the other female, who meet several times a year as the students' council and may voice opinions to their school administration. This leads to progressive education and strong inclusion of students in the path of their academic careers. | In Cartadania, education is the responsibility of the states (Estados) and part of their constitutional sovereignty.

A common occurence throughout Cartadania is where a team of school presidents is also elected by the pupils each year, whose main purpose is organizing school parties, sports tournaments (e.g., non-varsity association football), and the like for their fellow students. The responsibility for the school building itself in public settings, including sports facilities and other buildings contained within the campus, falls to the school district, or in the case of states where school districts are not separate legal systems but instead arms of the local government or statewide (i.e., [[Acara]], [[ | A common occurence throughout Cartadania is where a team of school presidents is also elected by the pupils each year, whose main purpose is organizing school parties, sports tournaments (e.g., non-varsity association football), and the like for their fellow students.

School systems employ the janitorial and secretarial staff for the schools, as well as principals and other administration. Teachers in more populous states tend to be hired by the district and be assigned to or select a school to teach at (provided there is a need or opening), while in less populated states (e.g., Cascália), they may be hired by the state and allocated to several districts in their area, where the district may choose them based on a number of qualifications and needs. The faculty is organised into academic departments that operate more or less independently of one another. | ||
Classes in Cartadania tend to be on the smaller side, even in heavily populated areas, seldom exceeding twenty students per classroom. This is based around a philosophy that schools should provide as close to a one-on-one experience as possible, which is further reinforced by some states' elimination of alphabetic or numerical grading systems (e.g., Verona in 2002 with VISA) in favor of teacher reviews for early years. | Classes in Cartadania tend to be on the smaller side, even in heavily populated areas, seldom exceeding twenty students per classroom.
