Here is my proposal for setting up the education system for our youth. This is just an outline to help us get things moving.

The education debate has been growing and I would like to expand my thoughts on the topic of where do we go from here. Being that our citizens are located around the world we need a plan that would benefit as many Asgardians as possible. The internet has grown to the point to where anyone with the desire can educate themselves on just about any subject they desire.
My vision would use the internet to bring all Asgardian learners in to a virtual classroom to be taught by Asgardian educators in subjects from elementary thru to grade 12 based on the 12 system. To do this Asgardia will rely on educators to develop a standard education system to be approved by the Ministry of Youth and Education. After the system is approved by the Ministry and the Asgardia Parliament. The Ministry of Youth and Education will present the system to other governments for accreditation.
The Ministry of Youth and Education initiation of the Basic
Educational System (BES)
