Education
Public education
Generally, public education is free for all residents who have either a student pass, C-permit or are citizens/nationals. People with B-permit have to pay a nominal amount for education.
Fortem has its own school system. It follows the general idea of the school system that Switzerland has implemented, however, they did not like the idea of students being forced in to work before they are ready. In Switzerland, if you choose a certain path, your school education stops after grade 9, and you have to work at the age of 15-16. Fortem did not like the idea of forcing students to work at such a young age without being suitably educated or qualified.
