The Kiravian Union is credited with greatly expanding working-class Kiravians' access to higher education through its grand expansion of public universities and bureaucratic regularisation of admissions processes at major established universities, which came under varying degrees of state control or influence. Eight in ten public universities in Kiravia today were founded during Kirosocialist rule. As part of the "Democratization Campaign in Education" (''Thāruārkaktorpistran Léisagrenē''), the government officially banished High Coscivian, previously the main language of academia in the country, from higher education, as well as vernacular languages at the "ethnic colleges". However, this effort was only partially successful. Tuition at public universities was free to the children of peasants, workers, and soldiers. New public colleges during this era were the first to be built with institutional dormitories, and room and board were subsidised for students from working families, while at preëxisting state universities and the old establishmentarian colleges equivalent services were provided mainly by student unions. | The Kiravian Union is credited with greatly expanding working-class Kiravians' access to higher education through its grand expansion of public universities and bureaucratic regularisation of admissions processes at major established universities, which came under varying degrees of state control or influence.

In Kiravian higher education, degrees are not awarded for the satisfactory completion of credit-hours (this is usually a prerequisite for graduation, but not always), but rather for a "demonstration" (High Coscivian: ''uordhír'') showing consummate mastery of course material. Depending on the institution and course of study, this could take the form of ''anoþeruorden'' (an oral examination by senior faculty) or an ''ifórgotra'' (a written thesis). Under the Kiravian Union, the ''anoþeruorden'' was discontinued for undergraduates outside of a few historically | In Kiravian higher education, degrees are not awarded for the satisfactory completion of credit-hours (this is usually a prerequisite for graduation, but not always), but rather for a "demonstration" (High Coscivian: ''uordhír'') showing consummate mastery of course material. Depending on the institution and course of study, this could take the form of ''anoþeruorden'' (an oral examination by senior faculty) or an ''ifórgotra'' (a written thesis). Under the Kiravian Union, the ''anoþeruorden'' was discontinued for undergraduates outside of a few historically Eshavian and Kandan universities in the Northeast (it would persist at medical and law schools), and the ''ifórgotra'' became standard. To maintain state accreditation, theses had to conform to a strict ideological rubric and were evaluated in large part for their application of socialist theory to the subject matter. | ||
