Slave Education

Introduction

When a slave is rescued and brought back to Ne’haer, many things are established and made possible for them. Among these rights granted to them is the right to an education, one fairly provided to them by city. It is understandable for the freed slave to need time to adjusted to their new circumstances, which is why they are given ample time to settle into their new lifestyle within the city. A government official is assigned to the freed slave to make sure they not only feel safe and protected, but also to ensure they are adjusting well to the environment and can communicate when they are ready to take the next step in becoming a citizen of Ne’haer.

This next step involves education, if necessary. Depending on the freed slave’s knowledge, most will have to go through the course in order to pass examination and move onto citizen application.

Information

A slave would usually take a religious path provided by the temples. Whatever the age, they would undergo schooling at their own pace. The government official would introduce a slave to their tutor as usually this schooling predominantly takes on a form of 1 on 1 until the slave accustoms. Once accustomed, lessons turn from individual to group and further skills are developed. This type of education, unlike the others, has no time limit set upon it.

Test

The test is a simple format focusing of a series of two tests. First test examines the freed slave’s knowledge of writing, reading and basic mathematics. Second test becomes a presentation where the freed slave speaks of a topic of their choosing.

First test is marked by a religious official that was not involved in the slave’s education to avoid prejudice and favoritism.

Second test is presided by three government officials - one who was assigned to the slave and serves as a reference point of progress, the other two of no relation to the slave.
