EDUCATION

youth learning - basically kindergarten + pre-primary, more focused on teaching kids about boundaries and sharing etc, gets them ready to go into primary school

primary school - from ages 6-16, teaches regular school shit (reading, writing, maths, health, arts, social studies etc); for casters there are often specific classes, after-school programs or out-of-school clubs to teach them all about the hows and why's of casting - in some cities or larger towns there might even be a separate school (eg. the Academy in Prota, which also partially acts as a boarding school)

usually after completing the 10 years of primary education, kids will go on to do a 2 year (minimum) apprenticeship in the subject/trade of their choice before going to university; but it's not a huge deal unless you're in the fancier parts of Nevmones (those fuckers are judgy about education).

secondary education - things like university and apprenticeships, really any kind of semi-formal education that goes beyond the 10 years in primary school

#so yeah the university of vinés and PABC arent the only schools they're just the best of the best #casting tends to have it's own separate education system because it's so complicated to deal with??#like. kids have to be taught from a young age about the biological consequences of casting so they dont freak out or hurt themselves #and letting them explore and learn slowly as they grow up is sort of the safest way #and gives them more room to develop their own unique way of casting (eg. nima turning it towards sewing and cecily towards plants)#health classes are usually different depending on the area of the continent you're in #like schools in the northern shore are going to have a stronger focus on selkie biology and lycanthropy #whereas schools in an area more populated by bird halflings will focus more on birds yknow?#like they'll still cover everything but they'd adjust it to fit the student population better #and knowledge about casting isn't like. a closed practice it's just easier to teach casters about casting on their own #so they're not distracted or the other students don't feel left out by not being able to do stuff #BUT #there are classes in uni - especially vinés - that non-casters can take that teaches them all about stardust and casting #from the mythology to the biology of it <- that's what atlas teaches (:#worldbuilding
