Ceylonia has one official language, the [[Yapokee language]]. [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]], and [[Tierradorian language|Tierradorian]] are considered to be national languages. It is estimated that over 84% of the country’s population is bilingual. Along with the three aforementioned languages, Ceylonia recognizes 38 different linguistic groups, including the 27 tribal languages spoken in the devolved tribal nations of the country. Besides Yapokee, [[Lahunatl]] is the most widely spoken of these tribal languages, with over 1.4 million speakers, all within the borders of the Lahunatl tribal nation, closely followed by the [[Kashakee]], [[Oscaja]], [[Chauakee]], and [[Bausiji]] languages. Ceylonia is the only Lusophonic nation in Crona, with it being used by about 17 million Ceylonians. Despite the many different linguistic groups, Yapokee is considered the “standard language” for all day-to-day activities within the country, and it is required that every student learn the language upon entering school, with the option to learn either Tierradorian or Cartadanian in later grades, with most students choosing the latter language due to the vast colonial history with Cartadania. | |||

As of 2033, the literacy rate in Ceylonia is 95.88%, with numbers being relatively equal for both males and females. The [[Equal Education Act of 1962]] completely reformed the country’s education, and was one of the catalysts to Ceylonia’s vast economic growth in the early 1980’s. | |||
It is required that children attend yearly schooling from ages 5 to 18, for 10 out of the 12 months, typically with a two-month long summer break in June and July. Education is free for public schools, however parents have the option to send their children to a private school, if they are able to afford. However, education in private and public schools are generally the same, with some minor differences between the two. | |||
Once the student graduates from school, they have the option to enter the workforce or attend a public university. Students are mostly recommended to attend university, as it is free and offers many great opportunities for their career. According to global university rankings, the publicly-funded [[National University of Santa Maria]] is the highest rated university in the country. Other prominent universities in the country include the [[East Sachia Polytechnic Institute]], [[Antakee University]], and [[Universidade Baías dos Cocos]]. | |||
