Education in Sohainesia

Education in Sohainesia is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education. Its system provides one of the highest test scores in the world. Although there are 9 years of compulsory education, the vast majority of students complete high school, and over 75% of Sohainesian pupils attend post-secondary education.

The system used to follow the Chinese Confucian paradigm under Vietnamese rule. During French rule, the Confucian paradigm was completely replaced by a French system, which used French as the medium of instruction. When Sohainesia gained independence, the Confucian paradigm was revived, as Emperor Cuk Hiaw ordered all schools to abandon the teaching of French, and to abandon the colonial model.

School grades
The school year is divided into two semesters. The first begins in the week after Chinese New Year and ends in mid-June; the second begins in early July and ends in the week during the Winter Solstice.
