The Christian faith is represented by the [[Democratic Christian Church of Corumm and the East]], the official body representing catholics in the country and not officially recognized as being in communion with mainstream Catholicism. The Democratic Christian Church of Corumm and the East claims that it is the legitimate continuation of the papacy and its leaders are styled as Popes. Approximately 6% of the population adhere to this church. Islam is another faith of importance, especially in the western provinces which once belonged to [[Rusana]]. Between 10% to 13% of the population identify as practicing Muslims, mostly of the Shia school. Both faiths are overseen by the Directorate of Religious Affairs under the Ministry of Interior, the Directorate trains all religious representatives, be it bishops, imams or muezzins. There are also older traditions of ancestor worship particularly among rural Corummese which survived from the Imperial era, based around local shrines. Unlike hierarchical religions, ancestor worship was not persecuted too much and continued on in the background much as before. Permission to reopen the Jade Garden shrine in [[Mirzak]] was granted in 2014. | The Christian faith is represented by the [[Democratic Christian Church of Corumm and the East]], the official body representing catholics in the country and not officially recognized as being in communion with mainstream Catholicism.

Education in Corumm is under the responsibility of the national government and its Ministry of Education, local and province level governments having very little input on the subject. Primary education begins at age six lasts for six years, roughly until the child is age twelve. At this point the educational system branches out into two divergent systems. The fifteen percent lowest ranked students of any class are filtered out into the Technical Training Track (TTT) where further academics are discontinued and instead they receive a six year education on technical skills and factory processes to prepare them for life as blue collar workers, tradesmen and other types of skilled manual labor. | |||
Those students who avoid the technical track can continue their secondary level education along what is termed as the Party Specialist Track. Students in this system have a well rounded education that prepares them for specialized education in the State universities. Anyone aspiring to work in government must necessarily have gone through the Party Specialist track of education. Party membership upon completion of their university courses is not guaranteed for these students, but it is much more likely than for technical training students. | |||
