Education in Shushtrepistaz

In Shushtrepistaz, education is compulsory at the elementary and middle and high school levels. Approximately 96% of all students progress to the upper level, which is voluntary. Most students attend public schools through the Middle School level, but private education is popular at the High School level and university levels. Shushtrepistaz's education system played a central part in Shushtrepistaz's recovery and rapid economic growth in the decades following the end of World War II and the Shushtrepistaz-Brenzaltan War.

After 1921, the Shudonese Education Law were enacted under the direction of the newly formed Department of Education. The latter law defined the school system that is still in effect today: six years of elementary school, three years of middle school school, and four years of high school.

History
Formal education in Shushtrepistaz began with the adoption of Chinese culture in the 6th century. Buddhist and Confucian teachings as well as sciences, calligraphy, divination and literature were taught at city centers. Scholar officials were chosen by the rulers. But contrary to China, the system never fully took hold and titles and posts at the court remained hereditary family possessions.

After the Education Revolution of 1781, the methods and structures of Western learning were adopted as a means to make Shushtrepistaz a strong, modern nation. Students and even high-ranking government officials were sent abroad to study. Foreign scholars, were invited to teach at newly founded universities and military academies. Compulsory education was introduced.
