Education in the Holy Elysian Empire consists of daycare programs for babies and toddlers, 2 years of preschool (ages 5-6), and 11 years of compulsory basic comprehensive school (ages 7 - 16). The education system is managed by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Culture and Arts. Public Education is funded by the Government while Private schools are free to determine their curriculum under existing laws and regulations.
During the Pre-Elysian Period, children were provided solely vocational training supervised by parents, tribal tutors and other specialized roles within their community. This has made stories, songs, poetry, dances, medicinal practices, advice in life, and languages like Cuyonon, Hilgaynon, Tagalog, Cebuano, and Waray-Waray to pass down to generation to generation, which has become a part of Elysian Culture and Arts.
Between the 14th and 15th centuries, the Elysian and local Filipino cultures blended, and the education system in the country was primarily informal, emphasizing classical knowledge and practical skills.
In the 16th century, under the reign of Empress Helena the Great, recognizing the need for a structured education system, the Empress established the first formal schools in the Capital City of Elysium and funded the building of schools and institutions around the country, which has made education in the Empire formalized. These educational institutions integrated Byzantine Philosophy, arts and sciences, and local wisdom.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Holy Elysian Empire experienced a cultural renaissance with monarchs like Emperor Demetrios III who promoted arts, literature, and sciences. During his reign, the Emperor signed a law creating the Ministry of Education and the prestigious University of Elysia, which is the oldest and most famous University of the Empire and in Asia. In this period, the education system flourished with the establishment of academies and libraries, fostering intellectual growth and creativity. This period has created famous scientists like Eva Michaelakou, Michail Petrellis, Aristeidis Architis, and Gianni Elitsis.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, Emperor Alexander II modernized the education system by introducing modern educational methods, building school laboratories, and standardizing the national curriculum. In 2003, Empress Theodora III added sustainable development and environmental education to the curriculum and also made preschool and elementary school free of charge. In the coming decades, the education system will modernize with the rise of the digital age, with its online resources and digital skills being integrated into the education system, and the Empire will increase its investments in cutting-edge technology for educational purposes.
Contemporary Period: Under the reign of Empress Catherine I, the Empress has made a reform to the national curriculum to not only focus on academic excellence but also on the development of critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and ethical values.
The K-10 system provides a framework for the early years of formal education, covering a broad range of subjects to establish foundational knowledge and skills and to prepare them for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. It is divided into preschool (kindergarten), elementary (primary school), and Highschool (Secondary School).
