This act shall designate and support scholarly institutions throughout the Holy Orenian Empire to facilitate the advancement and parity of learning and scholastic endeavors through the provinces.

 

INTRODUCTION

With continual effort in the militarization and political reorientation within the Empire, the lack of education has become an increasingly visible deficiency in the realm. This act is designed to strengthen local and provincial efforts to increase education, literacy, and cultural proliferation among our beloved subjects. Increasing the circulation of works from throughout our Imperial demesne is at the heart of this legislation. This legislation also intends to increase cultural representation and participation in the scholastic fields of the Holy Orenian Empire. 

 

SECTION I:

Imposing budgetary standards for the endowment of scholastic initiatives

 

1.  The Imperial Budget must designate a fund for educational endeavors with a portion allotted to the Department of Civil Affairs.
2. Any allocations to educational endeavors toward the several vassal states must be applied equally. 
3. In order for provinces to receive funding for their places of learning, they must supply the Imperial Library of Helena with two shelves (2 books) of copies of books and other works of cultural significance per every petition of funding. 
4. The works of literature, art, and culture that the respective provinces provide shall be designated as the Imperial Provincial Collection and placed with distinction as representations of cultural value from the respective provincial vassals.

 

SECTION II:

Guidelines for Imperial designation of education and scholarly endeavors

 

1.  Registering a place of education and scholarly endeavors must fulfill the following requirements:
   1.  Have an active enrollment of students or exposure to educate the people of their respective provinces
   2. Possess an active faculty for institutional instruction and maintenance
   3. Provide curriculum that instructs in Human history and or Canonist theology
2. The Department of Civil Affairs shall maintain a directory of all institutions of education and scholarly endeavors. 
3. Educational institutions established by the Holy Church of the Canon shall receive a separate designation from their provincial institutions. A mark of ☨ must be visibly adjacent to religious institutions on the directory.

 

SECTION III:

Designating institutions of education and scholarly endeavors

 

1.  The several vassal provinces shall designate at least one institution of higher learning and education or cultural significance. 
2. Institutions of educational endeavors may include but are not limited to the following: schools, museums, libraries, archives.

“Pah! Education should be free of this! You’ll not be forcing your canonist theology down my children’s throat! When I had a library, I did not needlessly censor it like the Canonist Church did. We had books on magic, other religions, science, it was a Public Library, free of religious censorship.” Matthias grumbles as he tosses the missive into the fire, using it to warm the stew.

[Sorcerio 4712]

“Oh how lovely! Finally the children have regulation for learning – and I can actually teach them useful information.” an old man hums pleasantly upon reading the missive, before going to walk off with a smile upon his face.
