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 two centuries ago, seminaries were only open to girls, and in most dioceses this continued to be the case even after (during the Nāɂahilūmi years even some dioceses that had allowed boys into seminaries went back); it is only since the society-wide gender equality laws of 6347 <small>(380Ɛ<sub>12</sub>)</small> 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. Tumidajaiṭa, the last diocese to end gender segregation, only did this in 6407 <small>(385Ɛ<sub>12</sub>)</small>, 17 years ago. | 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.

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 ''kūmbhraṇa'' or ''(tarlāmahi) emibausya'' (pl.

Chlouvānem schools are divided in three stages, two of them mandatory. 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. | Chlouvānem schools are divided in three stages, two of them mandatory.
