A while ago in another thread, I pondered the education of younglings in Eorzea. With guilds and trades and skills being highly valued in our realm, it would make sense to me that the younglings would be exposed to, taught and tested in these myriad of skills to see what possible future they would be suited to.

We talked about how younglings in Gridania are orphans, and we don't see many youths in general, et cetera et cetera.

However, with the wonderful implementation of "you have completed this guildleve" green messages, leading to my quest to complete ALL THE THINGS, I have found some wonderful information which makes me think about this all again.

As read in the carpenter leve Compulsory Conjury:
An edict recently passed by Stillglade Fane requiring all children between the ages of six and nine to train in the art of conjury has parents scrambling to find reasonably priced canes and crooks. To make sure they are not undersold by any second-rate foreign merchant, Black Rabbit Traders are urgently seeking carpenters willing to lend their services in the crafting of various conjurer's arms
In fact, the Stillglade Fane has laws about mandatory education (in conjury) for almost all citizens, particularly Wood Wailers (Leve: Spears and Sorcery). Wood Wailers themselves are then teaching citizens residing in remote locations, such as Quarrymill and Hyrstmill, basic conjury (Leve: Heal Away).

We have a nation of people who's children are all learning the art of conjury as a result of the Calamity, and I find this "education is important" approach quite forward thinking for the realm. I wonder what children in the rest of Eorzea are doing?
