Every school in the Inquisition by law requires pupils to wear a school uniform, called ''(tarlāmahi) emibausya'' (pl. ''emibausyai''). 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 ''glaɂa'' (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 ''junyoe'' 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.<br/>Monastic schools have different rules, as the clothing is usually the same as monks. | Every school in the Inquisition by law requires pupils to wear a school uniform, called ''(tarlāmahi) emibausya'' (pl.

The first stage, non-mandatory, is the ''lahīla tarlāmaha'' ("first school", acronym ''latah''), called ''nūriyæyakeika'' (literally "children lecture garden", also shortened to ''nūyækeya'' or ''nūyækeika'') in some dioceses. Children usually begin going in it in their fourth year of life following Chlouvānem age count <small>(= children at least 3 years old)</small>, 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.<br/>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. | ||

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.<br/> 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 ''lahīla (heirah)'' (first (year)), ''hælinaika'' (second), ''pāmvende'' (third), and ''nęltende'' (fourth).<br/>
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 (''chlǣvānumi dhāḍi našketoe''), basic notions of religion and civic education (''lileṃlīlta'' - no distinction between them is made in Chlouvānem society), maths (''smoḍatarlā''), history (''avyāṣmaita''), geography (''babhrātarlā''), sport classes (''rašvātra(i)'': archery (''nījogākonanah'') and athletics (''mædhrarašvātra'')) 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]] (''ṣurṭāgyumi dhāḍa''), sometimes [[Qualdomelic]] (''valdēmǣldumi dhāḍa''), [[Cerian]] (''sairghīṭyumi dhāḍa''), or [[Brono-Fathanic|Bronic]] (''broenyumi dhāḍa''). | ||
