Chlouvānem schools, today, are not gender-segregated, but (except for primary schools, and in a few areas also basic schools) this was not the case in the past. Until the late Third Era, seminaries were only open to girls, and in most dioceses this continued to be the case even after (during the Nāʔahilūmi years even some dioceses that had allowed boys into seminaries went back); it is only since the society-wide gender equality laws of 4E 48 (5610) that gender segregation in basic schools was ended and boys were allowed nationwide into seminaries; however, many dioceses kept gender segregation in secondary schools for decades. Tumidajātia, the last diocese to end gender segregation, only did this in 4E 98 (11610), 17 years ago.

Every school in the Inquisition by law requires pupils to wear a school uniform, called ''(tarlāmahi) ~~leilauseh~~'' (pl. ''~~leilausei~~''). Obviously, as all clothing, these vary according to the region due to the wildly different climates, but they're usually of modest white- or light blue-dyed, or even undyed fabric everywhere; the typical mark that differentiates different schools is a small piece of cloth called ''kitalilvan'' (literally "house belt") that pupils tie to their left forearm; each school has its own motif or simply its name written on it. In most cases (as the majority of the population lives in year-round hot and often wet climate areas), the choices are the ''glaʔa'' (a large shirt-like cloth covering the legs, tied at the waist) and ''dhūbas'' (neckless shirt, often without sleeves, coming down up to the legs) typically aimed at boys, and the ''maghātam'' (a pair of baggy trousers) with ''pajlāka'' (a loose long shirt, often simply a large piece of cloth with spaces for the head and arms) typically aimed at girls (the choices are however not gender-dependent (many schools, in fact, give ''maghātam'' and ''pajlāka'' to everyone, or a ''pajlāka'' instead of a ''dhūbas'' for boys too), as usually the parents and pupils decide together what to take — the important thing is that no other kind of outer clothing is allowed). As in most buildings, street shoes must be changed at the entrance; everyone is usually required to wear either a pair of ''junioe'' slippers or the more rustic straw rope ''varṇaigi'' sandals, even in those areas where going barefoot outside is common. There are less strict rules on hairstyles, and they're allowed as long as they are not of Western Calemerian style. Most pupils, however, sport a traditional ''pomai'' chignon. Monastic schools have different rules, as the clothing is usually the same as monks.

Chlouvānem schools are divided in three stages, two of them mandatory. The first stage, non-mandatory, is the ''~~lahīlah~~ tarlāmaha'' (first school), called ''saminyahikeika'' (literally "children lecture garden") in some dioceses. Children usually begin going in it in their fourth year of life following Chlouvānem age count (= children at least 3 years old), but a few schools, especially monastic ones, allow even children one year younger. Anyway, in rural areas it is still somewhat common for children not to go to first school, getting the equivalent basic education at home instead. In first school, children start learning how to read and write, and first schools are exclusively in Chlouvānem, bringing full exposure to the lingua franca instead of the local variant. During the second year of first school, children start being read and commented a few important extracts from the holy books of the Yunyalīlta. First school is not divided in grades, as classes are always mixed-age; one class usually contains from 25 to 40 children. Almost every parish (= municipality) of the Inquisition has at least a first school, often administered by the local temple.

====Basic school====

The second stage, and the first mandatory one, is the ''šermālgyumi tarlāmaha'' (basic school), which is always either government-controlled (''šarivāṇi š. t.'') or monastic (''~~ñæltryaukah~~ š. t.'') — private basic schools are forbidden by law<ref>As everywhere in Chlouvānem society, monasteries are considered neither private nor public, but almost like a world for themselves, even partially independent from the Inquisition itself.</ref>. Like for first schools, almost every parish has at least a basic school; in the smallest parishes that have them, it is usual to have first and basic schools in the same building or plot of land. Grades of basic schools are age-dependant, though it is not rare to find pupils that skip the second grade due to a particular talent, passing directly from the first to the third grade (such a child is colloquially called ''maihælinaikīn''); much rarer is the case of children that after one or two months of the first grade are directly assigned into a second grade for the rest of the year. Children enter basic school during their sixth year of life; the four grades are called ''~~lahīlah~~ (heirah)'' (first (year)), ''~~hælinaikah~~'' (second), ''~~pāmvendeh~~'' (third), and ''~~nęltendeh~~'' (fourth).  Basic schools, as their name already says, have the purpose of giving children the basic teachings propedeutical for everything else. In practice, this means Chlouvānem grammar, basic notions of religion and civic education (no distinction between them is made in Chlouvānem society), maths, history, geography, sport classes (archery and athletics) and usually another language: in areas with a second official language (so-called ''ethnic dioceses'') it's usually that one; otherwise it is most commonly [[Skyrdagor]], sometimes [[SaKalurilut|Kalurilut]], [[Cerian]], or [[Bronic]].

Unlike for first and basic schools, not all parishes have third-stage schools; today rural areas usually have a few of them serving relatively large-sized areas, but in the past they were, especially seminaries, only found in cities. Many third-stage schools, especially those serving large rural areas, are thus boarding schools, having or using accomodations administered by deacons or Inquisitors, and thus usually with a strong religious imprint.  ''Pūnatarlāmahai'' are many and all vary according to the chosen specialization, but they are all aimed at forming artesans, workers, farmers, and similar professions. They are seven year long - from the fifth grade (''šulkendeh''), with children in their eleventh year of life, to the eleventh grade (''~~vældendeh~~''), with pupils in their seventeenth year of life (the beginning of which is the age of majority in the Inquisition). The eleventh grade in work schools is also called ''tarlāmahi kahėrmaleni (heirah)'', (class) of the school certification.

Institutions are secondary education schools with technical and scientific specialties; they are classified as either scientific institutions (''tarlī pradīmai'') or economical institutions (''ladragyaltarlī pradīmai''). They are aimed at forming pupils for dirigential offices, deacons (laypeople working for the Inquisition), or simply for scientifical, economical, or medical Universities. Institutions are two years longer than work schools, ending with the certification grade (the thirteenth in total), called ''kahėrmaleni''.
