Education Minster Euros Volk announces that official exams will be discontinued at all levels below school leavers exams from the next academic year. This is part of a program of liberalisation in the educational system to increase the usefulness for students, with the lack of earlier exams meaning children can specialise earlier in their preferred and more successful subjects. 

Only three subjects remain on the core curriculum, Austral, Core Applied Maths and General Science, with the removal of Boreal and Montacian from core subjects considered somewhat controversial. Euros Volk has said the removal of languages is due to their lack of use in modern Izaakia, as business and government is conducted in Austral and no foreign nations speak Montacian. This is the first time the government has public backed one of Izaakias major languages over the others.
