Education in the Ponant

Education in the Ponant is the responsibility of the Ministry of National Education of the Ponant (Ministereyo de Edukazo Nacia en Republiko de Ponanton or Mienarepo). All citizens aged from 7 to 15 have to be educated.

Education is defined as a planned effort to establish a study environment and education process so that the student may actively develop his/her own potential to gain the religious and spiritual level, consciousness, personality, intelligence, behaviour and creativity to him/herself, other citizens and for the nation. The constitution also notes that education in the Ponant is divided into two major parts, formal (Primary cycle) and non-formal (Secondary Cycle). Formal education is divided again into three levels, the 1st (2 years), the 2nd (4 years) and the 3rd (2 years). Each year passed at school has to be validated by an year-end exam.
