}}Throughout the [[Earth|world]], '''formal education''' is a central aspect of society. The importance of learning is especially emphasized among the [[Society in the World of Avatar#Fire Sages, nobles, and high ranking military officials|upper class]] of the [[Fire Nation]], by many in the [[United Republic of Nations|United Republic]], and to a lesser extent, by some people in [[Ba Sing Se]].<ref name="AFL">{{Cite episode|1|306}}</ref>

== Types of education ==
=== Air Nomads ===
[[Spiritual beliefs in the World of Avatar|Spiritual enlightenment]] was central to the [[Air Nomads|Air Nomad]] culture, as all of its members regularly meditated in addition to practicing [[airbending]]. They were taught to value all forms of life and considered it to be sacred, regardless of whether it was good or evil.<ref name="ATLAaang">Shown throughout ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' by [[Aang]].</ref> At least some of them also studied [[Writing in the World of Avatar|calligraphy]] and [[Arts in the World of Avatar|poetry]], producing works of written art valued highly enough to be sought in the [[Earth Kingdom]].<ref name="TRoK9">{{Cite Kyoshi|109}}</ref><ref name="TRoK18">{{Cite Kyoshi|118}}</ref>

Young airbenders were raised at the [[air temple]]s instead of by their parents.<ref name="TRoK1">{{Cite Kyoshi|101}}</ref> Airbender boys often had one monk appointed to them as a personal guardian; similarly, airbender girls were raised by nuns.<ref name="SAT">{{Cite episode|1|103}}</ref><ref name="S">{{Cite episode|1|112}}</ref><ref name="dead 312-8">{{Cite nickold|312|8}}</ref><ref name="P2">{{Cite comic|P2}}</ref> Especially in the case of the Air [[Avatar]], there were concerns about young airbenders growing too attached to their guardians.<ref name="S" />

During periods of isolationism, educators tried to actively discourage young Air Nomads from absorbing news about the outside world, fearing they would be distracted from their spiritual paths.<ref name="CoreBook-40">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 40.</ref> During more open times when the Air Nomads forged close ties with the other nations, Air Nomad teachings spread to other nations, and the temples supported the building of a [[Fire & Air Center of Learning]] in the Fire Nation.<ref name="CoreBook-46">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 46.</ref> This was opposed by the sect known as the [[Guiding Wind]], who believed that the Air Nomads' ties with the wealthy elite classes of the world were impeding the spiritual enlightenment of people of all nations.<ref name="CoreBook-46" />

[[File:Meditation practice.png|thumb|left|200px|The [[Air Nomads#Rebirth of a nation|Air Nation]] regularly practices meditation.]]

Following the [[Air Nomad Genocide]], the new Air Nation adapted to a world with an extremely small number of airbenders. Thusly, all airbenders were directly raised by their parents after the [[Hundred Year War]].<ref name="WRC" /> Aside from learning their own bending art and meditation, children are taught about their [[History of the World of Avatar|history]] and culture, and may participate on educational trips, such as tours to the air temples.<ref name="ALW">{{Cite episode|2|102}}</ref><ref name="RS">{{Cite episode|2|201}}</ref>

[[Air Acolytes]] are typically extremely well-educated about Air Nomad culture and sometimes practice nonbending martial arts that are heavily modelled on airbending.<ref name="SL">{{Cite episode|2|202}}</ref><ref name="P3">{{Cite comic|P3}}</ref> Following the rise of new airbenders after [[Harmonic Convergence]], many of the new airbenders grew bored of the traditonalist teaching approach of listening to lectures about famous monks, nuns, and gurus, but also struggled to adapt when [[Tenzin]] tried to implement harsher methods of [[Airbending training|airbender training]]. However, given time, the new airbenders and Tenzin managed to reach a healthy teacher-student relationship.<ref name="OA">{{Cite episode|2|307}}</ref>

=== Water Tribe ===
[[File:Healing hut.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Healing]] huts are used in the [[Northern Water Tribe]] to teach young girls how to heal using their [[waterbending]] abilities.]]

Besides basic skills such as reading and writing, a [[Military of the Water Tribe|warrior]]'s battlefield skills are also highly valued, as the [[Agna Qel'a|city]] maintains a fairly large [[Military of the Water Tribe|army]] and [[Weaponry in the World of Avatar|armory]].<ref name="SN2">{{Cite episode|1|120}}</ref> [[Waterbending]] is also regularly taught, with waterbenders like Master [[Pakku]] instructing and testing male waterbending students during regular dueling sessions, and female waterbenders frequently attending [[healing]] classes. Prior to the end of the Hundred Year War, female waterbenders in the North were forbidden from learning any techniques beyond healing, while healing was also prohibited from being taught to male waterbenders.<ref name="WM">{{Cite episode|1|118}}</ref><ref name="TSoK7">{{Cite Kyoshi|207}}</ref> In general, education in the [[Northern Water Tribe]] is considered to be rigorous yet flexible.<ref name="RPG-RC-40">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Republic City (Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game)|Republic City]]'', Version 1.0, 2023, p. 40.</ref>

Prior to its [[Southern Water Tribe raids|near-destruction]] at the hands of the Fire Nation, the [[Southern Water Tribe]] deeply valued academia. The Southern business magnate [[Tiqriganiannig]] funded the ''[[Unity]]'' with the world's academic institutions in order to spread [[Technology in the World of Avatar|technology]] and knowledge in all [[four nations]].<ref name="CoreBook-47">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 47.</ref> The South hosted regular classes for its students, as the tribe once consisted of several large walled villages. Unlike the [[North Pole]], it also regularly [[Waterbending training|taught waterbending]] to members of both [[Gender and sexuality in the World of Avatar|sexes]],<ref name="P">{{Cite episode|1|308}}</ref> and gender discrimination was not an issue for budding benders. Sadly, this art was virtually lost when the Fire Nation killed or captured the [[South Pole]]'s entire waterbender population, except for [[Katara]].<ref name="P" /> Like the North, the South maintains a strong regard for its warrior culture. In spite of the South's dire state and its lack of contact with the outside world, the South's tribesmen are quite literate, as [[Sokka]] and Katara were capable of both reading and writing without any difficulty.<ref name="ATLAWater">Shown throughout ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' by [[Sokka]] and [[Katara]].</ref>

During the [[Southern Reconstruction Project]], Master Pakku possessed a waterbending school in the [[Wolf Cove|city]], where he taught Northern Style waterbending to waterbenders who were born after the end of the war in the South.<ref name="NS2">{{Cite comic|NS2}}</ref>

=== Earth Kingdom ===
[[File:Ba Sing Se University.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Ba Sing Se University]] is a highly renowned institution of higher learning in the [[Earth Kingdom]].]]

Ideally, education is highly valued in the Earth Kingdom. The government stresses that education is the best path to [[Society in the World of Avatar#Earth Kingdom|social mobility]]. The Earth Kingdom deems this the "Commoner's Promise", which represents the possibility for anyone to rise high in the bureaucracy based on their merit.<ref name="CoE10">{{Cite Legends Novels|110}}</ref> In practice, education varies highly depending on region and class. In the [[Lower Ring]] of Ba Sing Se, most students drop out of school around the age of thirteen or fourteen to help with family businesses,<ref name="CoE3">{{Cite Legends Novels|103}}</ref> while the Middle Ring and Upper Ring have expensive literature schools.<ref name="CoE13">{{Cite Legends Novels|113}}</ref> Nevertheless, there are still programs to help disadvantaged students. Teachers at neighborhood schools can recommend promising students for scholarships at the literature academies.<ref name="CoE3" /> At the university level, low-income students receive funds to cover their tuition and meals, and are granted apartments on the grounds.<ref name="CoE10">{{Cite Legends Novels|110}}</ref>

Literature academies in Ba Sing Se and the major cities focus on four main areas: speech, essay, calligraphy, and poetry,<ref name="CoE7">{{Cite Legends Novels|107}}</ref> with history and the classics also considered extremely important.<ref name="CoE6">{{Cite Legends Novels|106}}</ref> Classes can be even more specialized, such as specific lessons on [[Arts in the World of Avatar#Haiku|haiku]].<ref name="CoE13" /> The ceremonial Pianhai method of calligraphy is also taught at literary schools, but never at basic schools.<ref name="TRoK7">{{Cite Kyoshi|107}}</ref> Schooling is strict, and at the most exclusive institutions, corporal punishment is used if students make simple mistakes.<ref name="CoE13" /> Since most students at literature schools are wealthy, many of their families pay for private tutors to instruct them on their calligraphy and help them memorize poetic verses.<ref name="CoE6" /> Even at literature academies, not all students proceed from literature academies to universities, and places at higher institutions are highly coveted.<ref name="CoE3" /> Many ambitious students know the importance of making certain social connections at literary schools, and hope that association with a particular sifu or well-known family will help their long-term aspirations.<ref name="CoE12">{{Cite Legends Novels|112}}</ref>

At the higher educational level, one of the renowned academic institutions in the Earth Kingdom is [[Ba Sing Se University]], and its own enrollment materials proclaiming it to be the greatest university in the world. By 296 [[History of the World of Avatar#Dates|BG]], the university boasted a zoology department headed by Professor [[Shaw]],<ref name="TRoK13">{{Cite Kyoshi|113}}</ref> and by 100 AG young scholars could attend an extensive range of classes in both the [[Science in the World of Avatar|sciences]] and humanities.<ref name="L" /> However, during the [[Conspiracy of Ba Sing Se]], teachings on the Hundred Year War were strictly forbidden in the university, as displayed by [[Joo Dee]] when she silenced [[Ba Sing Se University student|a student]] who was asked about the conflict by [[Team Avatar]]. At the peak of the [[Dai Li]]'s power, public knowledge of the War was forbidden in the city as a whole.<ref name="CWS">{{Cite episode|1|214}}</ref>

During Avatar [[Kyoshi]]'s lifetime, education in the Earth Kingdom was known to have a certain level of corruption, as cheating on tests with the help of friends was considered a time-honored tradition.<ref name="TRoK25">{{Cite Kyoshi|125}}</ref> It was also common for tutors to swap identities with children of wealthy families in order to pass the government tests needed for prestigious administrative jobs.<ref name="TRoK20">{{Cite Kyoshi|120}}</ref> Later in Kyoshi's life, the [[Earth Sages]] embraced their role as wise advisors and academics, and tried to continue the policy after her death. They lectured on how to expand bureaucratic channels to benefit the poorest in society. During this time period, the world was also on the brink of a technological renaissance made possible by new universities springing up, and academic institutions around the world forging new connections with one another.<ref name="CoreBook-46">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 46.</ref><ref name="CoreBook-54">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 54.</ref>

However, during the reign of [[Earth Monarch|Earth King]] [[Jialun]], the sages were [[Night of Silenced Sages|purged]] for speaking out against the king's changes to the constitution. The sages were purged, with a few remaining as Grand Lectors, now loyal to only the crown. Their temples reopened as Royal Learning Halls, which were tightly controlled by the government. The Earth Kingdom was suspicious of international academic collaboration, viewing such attempts as plots to deploy spies around the world. Innovation stagnated during this time, since any new technologies were quickly seized by the crown and distributed to vassals as the Earth King saw fit.<ref name="CoreBook-46" /><ref name="CoreBook-54" /> Despite the curtailing of freedom of speech as well as research, the Earth Kingdom continued to host internationally renowned institutes of learning, as well as the [[earthbending]] schools.<ref name="UIAG-119">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Uncle Iroh's Adventure Guide]]'', Version 1.0, 2024, p. 119.</ref>

Other than training with family or locals, earthbenders could [[Earthbending training|learn earthbending]] from many high level masters throughout the Earth Kingdom in earthbender schools or in dojos. One such dojo was [[Master Yu's Earthbending Academy]] in [[Gaoling]]. These masters also privately tutored rich and high class students like Master [[Yu]] did with [[Toph Beifong]].<ref name="BB">{{Cite episode|1|206}}</ref> Other masters, like Jianzhu, used their status as high-level sages to fund bending schools throughout the Earth Kingdom and four nations.<ref name="TRoK8">{{Cite Kyoshi|108}}</ref> The most common earthbending schools offer a path to learn a certain trade, such as building, or [[Transportation in the World of Avatar|transportation]] reliant on earthbending. They are also often seen as a path into the [[Military of the Earth Kingdom|military]]. Earthbender schools are often private and rely on paid tuition, which is often far too steep for the poorest in society.<ref name="CoE6"/>

Toph Beifong established the world's first [[Beifong Metalbending Academy|metalbending academy]] near the city of [[Yu Dao]] to teach earthbenders [[metalbending]].<ref name="P1">{{Cite comic|P1}}</ref> She was able to offer free tuition after the school was sponsored by [[Earthen Fire Industries]], and hired scouts to search the Earth Kingdom for new metalbenders. Toph also accepted earthbenders who were not capable of metalbending at the academy, as well as other skilled earthbenders such as the [[Lavabending|lavabender]] [[Sun]].<ref name="TBMA">{{Cite comic|TBMA}}</ref>

=== Fire Nation ===
[[File:Fire Nation school afar.png|thumb|right|200px|A [[Fire Nation school]] was visited by [[Aang]] in 100 [[History of the World of Avatar#Dates|AG]].]]

Education has been highly valued in Fire Nation since at least the lifetime of [[Szeto]]. In 296 BG, [[Rangi]] noted that it was highly rare for school to be canceled in the Fire Nation, with one notable exception being the celebrations after the [[Fire Sages]] revealed a new Fire Avatar.<ref name="TRoK12">{{Cite Kyoshi|112}}</ref>

By the reign of [[Fire Lord]] [[Sozin]], the Fire Nation had a Minister of Education, Science, and Technology.<ref name="WSTAG-100">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Wan Shi Tong's Adventure Guide]]'', Version 1.0, 2022, p. 100.</ref> During the first true industrial revolution, the Fire Nation and the world began to enter a period of unprecedented academic collaboration, and Sozin encouraged his people to drink deeply from the well of knowledge of other nations, while preserving Fire Nation culture within his own borders.<ref name="CoreBook-48">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 48.</ref>

Education was strict during the Hundred Year War and was often oriented toward the ultimate goal of indoctrinating the student population in the country's [[Politics in the World of Avatar|politics]]. There were few forms of personal expression, as such actions were considered a threat to the Fire Lord's unquestioned authority during the War. Many common arts such as dancing were thus omitted from the school curriculum.<ref name="Cookbook-121">''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender Cookbook: Official Recipes from the Four Nations]]'', p. 121.</ref> There was also very strict censoring to make the students believe that the Fire Nation's war against the other nations was in fact a justified one, as Sozin's official reasoning for the Hundred Year War was to spread his nation's prosperity to others. At the beginning of every day, the students must stand up and pledge loyalty to the Fire Lord, promising to serve him for as long as they live. The Fire Nation also altered certain aspects of historical events to make it seem as though they were fighting for the greater good. For example, a school textbook stated that the Air Nomads used military force to repel Fire Nation attacks, though the peaceful nation had no such [[Organizations in the World of Avatar|organization]].<ref name="H" /> The authorities also fostered the impression that Fire Nation history began with Sozin's ascension, as Sozin had forbidden all knowledge of their history prior to his reign to be shared with the people.<ref name="CoreBook-76">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 76.</ref>

After the end of the Hundred Year War, as a result of [[Zuko]]'s reforms, scholars strove to recover lost history and eliminated deceitful [[Propaganda in the World of Avatar|propaganda]] long taught in school texts.<ref name="CoreBook-76" /> Fire Lord Zuko also organized reforms in the education system, opening previously noble-exclusive schools to commoners and reducing the imperialist-militarist tendencies in the curricula.<ref name="AA">{{Cite comic|AA}}</ref> Among other efforts, he made the Dancing Dragon movements a mandatory element in schools.<ref name="Cookbook-121">''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender Cookbook: Official Recipes from the Four Nations]]'', p. 121.</ref>

Education, especially military knowledge, is generally valued for the children of the [[Fire Nation Royal Family]], as shown in the case of Sozin,<ref name="TRoR3">{{Cite Roku|103}}</ref><ref name="TRoR21">{{Cite Roku|121}}</ref> Zuko and [[Azula]].<ref name="ZA">{{Cite episode|1|207}}</ref> Aristocratic children are often educated in well-respected institutions, such as the prestigious [[Royal Fire Academy for Boys]] and [[Royal Fire Academy for Girls]].<ref name="TRoR21" /><ref name="RO">{{Cite episode|1|203}}</ref>

As of 100 AG, the Fire Nation had several universities, including at least one on Capital Island.<ref name="dead 302-4">{{Cite nickold|302|4}}</ref> Furthermore, the country has various [[Military of the Fire Nation|military]] academies,<ref name="UIAG-120">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Uncle Iroh's Adventure Guide]]'', Version 1.0, 2024, p. 120.</ref> including the aforementioned Royal Fire Academies of the [[Fire Nation Capital|capital]].<ref name="TRoR21" /><ref name="CoreBook-24">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book|Core Book]], Version 1.0, 2022, p. 24.</ref> Historically, it was common for nonbenders to attend the universities and firebenders to attend the military academies, though exceptions existed.<ref name="TRoR4">{{Cite Roku|104}}</ref> In the 1st century BG, it was possible for foreign students such as [[Jasmine Island]]ers to attend schools in the Fire Nation.<ref name="UIAG-120" />

=== United Republic of Nations ===
[[File:Expanded Beifong Metalbending Academy.png|thumb|left|200px|The [[Beifong Metalbending Academy]] in [[Yu Dao]] later became part of the [[United Republic of Nations|United Republic]].]]
The United Republic has a formal education system, which covers both children and teenagers.<ref name="OW">{{Cite episode|2|306}}</ref> However, the school system does not reach everyone: Tenzin's children are exempt and are educated on [[Air Temple Island]] in the customs of the Air Nation.<ref name="WRC">{{Cite episode|2|101}}</ref> 

Additionally, a number of children do not attend school in cases of severe child poverty, such as [[Mako]], [[Bolin]], and [[Skoochy]].<ref name="RCH1">{{Cite episode|2|RCH1}}</ref><ref name="TR">{{Cite episode|2|103}}</ref> Projects have been organized to combat educational inequality in the nation, such as the [[Dragon Flats borough|Dragon Flats]] Reform School, with some of the best teachers being hired to educate some of [[Republic City]]'s worst students in an especially disadvantaged neighborhood.<ref name="RPG-RC-53">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Republic City (Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game)|Republic City]]'', Version 1.0, 2023, p. 53.</ref> In general, truancy is looked down upon by middle-class citizens, and by [[Law and order in the World of Avatar|law enforcement]].<ref name="OW" />

The nation is home to several educational institutions of note. The [[Beifong Metalbending Academy]] in [[Yu Dao]] was the first of its kind in the world,<ref name="P1">{{Cite comic|P1}}</ref> and [[Republic City University]] was quickly established as a prominent institution when [[Avatar]] [[Aang]] helped to bring scholars from all over the world to [[Cranefish Town]].<ref name="RPG-RC-40" /> The university was even respected enough that [[Wu]], a prince of the Earth Kingdom, was enrolled there at the time of his [[Hou-Ting|great-aunt]]'s [[Insurrection of the Red Lotus|assassination]].<ref name="AATYc">[[Michael Dante DiMartino|DiMartino, Michael Dante]]; [[Bryan Konietzko|Konietzko, Bryan]]; [[Tim Hedrick|Hedrick, Tim]] & [[Joshua Hamilton|Hamilton, Joshua]] (March 10, 2015). [[Transcript:After All These Years (commentary)|"After All These Years" commentary]]. [[Book Four: Balance|Book Four: Balance Blu-ray]].</ref> Higher education has tuition costs, although there are scholarship programs for the underprivileged.<ref name="RPG-RC-42">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Republic City (Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game)|Republic City]]'', Version 1.0, 2023, p. 42.</ref>

The educational curriculum in the United Republic takes inspiration from nations across the world, and then adapts traditional principles for a more modern and cosmopolitan environment. For example, Republic City University is partially modelled on Ba Sing Se University and tends to use Earth Kingdom teaching methods, but also adopted the flexibility found in the Northern Water Tribe.<ref name="RPG-RC-40" />

During the period leading up to the [[Anti-bending Revolution]], radical politics became fairly common in academia, with one [[Protester|graduate student]] of Republic City University openly professing support for the [[Equalists]] and pursuing his agenda full-time in his studies.<ref name="WRC" /><ref name="RCP-3">{{Cite Republictour|RCP|3}}</ref> After Amon's defeat, a non-violent Equalist revival movement remains especially popular at the university. The near-absolute pacifist [[Peace Lily Society]] is also primarily made up of Republic City's students.<ref name="ST-AB-27">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. [[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Starter Set|Starter Set]], Adventure Booklet, pg. 27.</ref> In general, students are prone to trying to understand perspectives other than their own and to question systems in place, with universities full of lively debate.<ref name="RPG-RC-41">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Republic City (Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game)|Republic City]]'', Version 1.0, 2023, p. 41.</ref>
