Asgard prides itself on its high number of intellectuals. Mostly this is achieved by a rigid educational system, which is composed of three stages.
Primary Education
Primary education consists of the first 8 to 10 years of formal, structured education. In general, main education consists of eight or ten years of schooling starting at the age of four or five, although this varies between districts. Every child in Asgard is ordered by law to fulfill at least the first eight years of the Primary Education, though it is know that small farming communities or outposts are in title of special dispensation. Reading, writing and basic biology, along with a rigid indoctrination within the Asgardian organizational structure, are part of the educational program
Secondary education
Secondary education consists of the second years of formal education that occur between the age of 12 till 18 and 24, depending on the field of study. The purpose of secondary education is to provide children with more common knowledge, to prepare for higher education or to train directly in a specific profession. Social caste, family status and a variety of other influences may decide to which school or academy a Asgardian child is sent. Military academies and scientific/magical institutions tend to have the longest run time, while social studies, craftsman studies and basic agrarian studies tend to be around two or three years long. Younglings attending these professions are expected to find themselves a master within their caste who will teach them the tricks of their trade in the upcoming ten to fifty years.
Universities
Universities are the main institutions that provide tertiary education. Collectively, these are sometimes known as tertiary institutions. And are often bound to a particular Caste or field of profession. Tertiary education generally results in the receipt of certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees. Higher education includes teaching, magic, engineering, philosophy, diplomacy and many more within the realm of teaching. The curriculum varies widely from University to University, and from region to region. High Magic, Politics and Philosophy are among the most popular fields of study
