Education in Cooltopia, and in particular the schools/colleges, is not compulsory. Children are usually introduced to education at an early age by their parents. Education is not only reading and math, however, it spans across a wide variety of subjects from tinkering with machines to investigating the long lost Age of Magic.
From a young age, Cooltopians learn the CATABET, it's useful for reading all sorts of messages in Cooltopia.
Most locations teach reading, writing and mathematics. There are also very specific subjects taught in certain locations. If looking to expand knowledge, it can be worth visiting these locations and spending a few days there. For example, Diamond City has a wealth of knowledge in its Royal Library. Learn almost anything from how to correctly plant seeds to the secrets of long lost magic, although this last subject is incredibly difficult to master. The more dangerous books in the Royal Library are locked away and stored for historical reasons.
All children are welcome to attend school, but the vast majority choose not to and instead follow their parents' steps. Children usually take up education in one of the Orders of Cooltopia such as the Order of Farmers. These schools are run by local volunteers who want to inspire children to excel in particular trades or skills.
There are also schools based in the wilderness that help children learn survival skills and how to defend themselves against nasty creatures! If you want to be an Adventurer, then maybe Hero School is for you!
For children who are particularly gifted, they may end up attending the Royal College in Diamond City. This is an advanced school designed to help children reach their maximum potential. Children have to engage in a series of activities, both mental and physical, to be invited to the college.
