How common is a level of education for the NPCs (and PCs) in your game world?In most countries, the majority is entirely uneducated.  There are two countries which are exceptions to this rule.  One is a vast, centrally located empire that needs competent administrators and managers, and the other is a small swamp kingdom in the south that places a high cultural value on education.2.) Are only the elite spellcasters educated, but perhaps only in their field?Most spellcasters, with the exception of nobles, are poorly educated outside of their spellcasting training.3.) Do nobles benefit from higher learning, or perhaps just the basics?Nobles in all but the barbaric kingdoms are generally well educated.4.) Do experts have schools for their specialties?Only in the swamp kingdom.  The apprentice system rules everywhere else.5.) Are there trade schools for craftsmen or just apprenticeships (and how formal are they)?See 4.6.) Do commoners ever see the inside of a classroom?Only in the swamp kingdom7.) What sort of training beyond the tilting field is received by guards, warriors, and soldiers?Professional warriors are the backbone of the nations' militaries.  However, the average warrior isn't taught much other than how to fight and to be loyal to the king/emperor/chief/mayor.  Officers recieve substantial training in logistics, tactics, and other military disciplines.8.) Do bards learn exclusively from a single master, or are there dormatories with some of the best damned parties in the kingdom full of them?Bards are on the apprentice system, except in the swamp kingdom (where they do indeed have excellent parties).9.) Where do monks learn their many disciplines?Monastaries.  Isolated, out of the way places full of monks.  Mostly located near inhospitable locales like vast swamps, deserts or jungles.  And, of course, the occasional capital city.10.) Does every temple have a classroom for their clergy?The rich ones do.  More rural temples work mostly on a variation of the apprentice system.</blockquote>
