Variable Education
The advance of mankind to the stars is fast and furious, far outreaching the social programs and capabilities of the UNG. It is thus that the most basic of social programs begin to decline in and change to meet the needs of the time and place. The primary example of this, and the one that will be dealt with hearafter, is Education.
Education in the years 2020-2050 matched and then surpassed the educational systems of the 19th and 20th centuries. Typically giving student a full primary and secondary education to the clones upon their being released into society, and natural teaching methods graduating students at the ages of 16 and 17. However this only hold true on the core worlds and emmigration fleets. The further one stretches ones hand into the reaches of known space, the lower the quality of education goes.
By 2050 the UNG lists literacy at 97%, however, inaccessability to a large portion of the population for census skews this number by almost 20%. A general litercy rate in the outlying and ununified or identified colonies is believed to be a just of 70%. By the same factor, UNG citizens sport a bold figure of 99% junior high school graduation, with 80% of those further graduating from high school and non-military educated citizens at 52% with post secondary educations. These numbers are only true in the core worlds. Even as close as Britania and New Patagonia we see those number drop considerably, frighteningly so for post secondary educations, at little over 10%. This is a repeat of the Renaissance age of earth, the days of Medevil Warlords and constant battle to the tears of peasents. Even those colonies start by emmigration fleet show an immediate and striking drop in education levels.
Certainly with a stronger unification of the populated systems, and a greater focus and freedom of movement this trend will change, however, we can see a predicatble trend that will leave the human race gasping for literate air for yet one hundred years and beyond.
