Education in Kliegme


In Kliegme, the state provides most education services regulating education through the Ministry of Education. Regional authorities regulate education within their jurisdictions within the prevailing framework of federal laws. Kliegme's expenditure on education is 4.8% of the GDP.

A 2019 census puts the literacy rate in Kliegme at 99.7% (99.7% for men, 99.6% for women), with 64% of Kliegme's adults (25- to 64-year-olds) have attained a tertiary education or a professional education.

Due to Compulsary Elementary and Secondary Education, The Government is expected to pay for all tuitions in Elementary and Secondary Education

In Kliegme, the grade of a student is reset as the student progresses through elementary, middle and high school. To differentiate the grades between students, one would often state the grade based on the level of education he/she is in. For example, a student in the first year of middle school would be referred to as "First grade in Middle School”(Средняя школа 1 класс)

While obtaining a higher education in Kliegme is not mandatory, it is abnormal to not have one. This is due to Higher education being an overwhelmingly serious issue in Kliegmean society, where it is viewed as one of the fundamental cornerstones Kligmean life. Education is regarded as a high priority for Kliegmean families, as success in education is crucial for improving one's socioeconomic position in Kliegmean society. Academic success is often a source of pride for families and society at large. Graduating from a top university is the ultimate indication of prestige, high socioeconomic status, promising marriage prospects, and a prestigious and respectable white collar career path. Many Kliegmean parents hold high educational expectations for their children, and to uphold the family honor, many Kliegmean children are expected to go on to university and take part in a prestigious white-collar occupation as their future career choice. An average Kliegman child's life revolves around education as Students are faced with immense pressure to succeed academically from their parents, teachers, peers and society. This is largely a result of a society that has entrenched a great amount of importance on higher education, with those lacking formal university education often facing social prejudice as well as significant life-long consequences such as a stagnant and lower socioeconomic status, diminishing marriage prospects, and low possibilities of securing a respectable white collar and professional career path.

While this zealous fervor on Education has provided Kliegme wjth comparatively high test results and played a major role in ushering Kliegme's economic development while creating one of the world's most educated workforces, The system's rigid and hierarchical structure has been criticized for stifling creativity and innovation; described as intensely and "brutally" competitive, The system is often blamed for the high suicide rate in Kliegme(27.5 per 10,0000 people), it is also criticised for causing labor shortages in various skilled blue collar labor and vocational occupations, where many go unfilled as the negative social stigma associated with vocational careers and not having a university degree continues to remain deep-rooted in kliegmean society.


Kindergartens
According to the 2012 census, 72% of children (78% urban and 47% rural) aged 5 were enrolled in kindergartens. Kindergartens, unlike schools, are regulated by regional and local authorities. The Ministry of Education regulates only a brief pre-school preparation program for the 5–6-year-old children. The number of kindergartens have increased as a result of more women entering the workforce, growth in the number of nuclear families where a grandparent is often unavailable to take care of children. Kliegmean kindergartens are expected to start teaching how to count, add, subtract, and read and write in Karnetvorian. Children in Kliegmean kindergartens are also taught using games focused on education and coordination to teach body parts, food and nutrition, and healthy spending habits. Songs, dances, and memorization are a big part of Kliegmean kindergarten education.

Elementary Education
Elementary Education is conducted by Elementary Schools, which consists of Grade 1 to Grade 6(6 to 12 in Age). The curriculum is usually as follows:
Karnetvorian (listening, speaking, reading, writing)
Austral
Moral Education
Social Studies(which includes Basic History)
Mathematics
Science
Art
Music
Physical Education

Usually, the class teacher covers most of the subjects; however, there are some specialised teachers in professions such as physical education and foreign languages. The Class Teacher is also tasked with providing a good care for the Class that they are in charge of.


Secondary Education-Middle School
Middle schools in Kliegme consist of three grades. Most students enter at age 12 and graduate at age 14 or 15. Middle school in Kliegme marks a considerable shift from primary school, with students expected to take their studies much more seriously. Most middle school students take seven lessons a day, and an optional eighth “lesson” of extracurricular activities, like clubs. Unlike high school, middle school curriculum do not vary much from school to school. Karnetvorian, Algebra, Geometry, Austral, social studies, and science form the core subjects, with students also receiving instruction in music, art, PE, Kliegmean history, ethics, home economics, secondary language, technology. The final year of middle school examination, is when scores become very important for top students hoping to gain entrance into top high schools, and for those in the middle hoping to get into an academic rather than a technical or vocational high school. Otherwise, examinations and marks only matter insofar as living up to a self-enforced concept of position in the school ranking system. There are some standardized examinations for certain subjects, and teachers of academic subjects are expected to follow approved textbooks, but generally middle school teachers have more flexibility over curricula and methods than teachers in high school.

Secondary Education-High School
High schools in Kliegme teach students for three years, from first grade (age 15–16) to third grade (age 17–18), and students commonly graduate at age 17 or 18. High school students are commonly expected to study increasingly long hours each year moving toward graduation, to become competitive and enter extremely attractive universities in Kliegme.

High schools in Kliegme can be divided into specialty tracks that accord with a student's interest and career path or a normal state high school. For special high schools, there are science (Science high school), foreign language, international, and art specialty high schools that students can attend by passing entrance examinations which are generally competitive. These schools are called special-purpose high schools. Autonomous private high schools are relatively free of the policy of the Ministry of Education. Also, there are schools for gifted students.

High school is not mandatory, unlike middle school education in Kliegme. However, 97% of Kliegme's young adults do complete high school.


Advanced Education-College and Universities
Higher education in Kliegme is provided primarily by universities (national research universities, industrial universities, teacher-training universities, broadcast and correspondence universities, cyber universities, graduate schools, open universities, and national universities of education) and colleges (cyber colleges, technical colleges, colleges in company, graduate school colleges) and various other research institutions.

Entrance to Kliegmean universities is based largely on the scores that students achieved on the Единый государственный экзамен(Unified State Examinations or ЕГЭ), which accounts for 60 percent of the admission criteria while the remaining 40 percent is dependent on grades from comprehensive high school records. In addition to the ЕГЭ scores, universities also take volunteer experience, extra-curricular activities, letters of recommendation, school awards, portfolios into consideration when assessing a prospective applicant.

Due to Stress from the past 12 years of Education, and the entrance itself, most Kliegmean Young adults tend to spend the first year of University being lazy, however, this is also due to the First Year of University being not accounted for a degree.
