Patriotic Education Initiative
The Patriotic Education Initiative was an educational reform program implemented by the National Salvation Council in late 1744 AN as part of the "Four Pillars" policy following the 1744 Oportian coup d'état. The initiative restructured curricula across all levels of Oportian education to emphasize national history, civic duty, and practical skills while incorporating mandatory courses on national culture and political philosophy in universities. Schools reopened on 27.XII.1744 AN with modified programs that included "national security awareness" and "civic responsibility" components supporting the Four Pillars framework[1], aiming to produce graduates who combined professional competence with patriotic commitment. The reform maintained university autonomy in technical and scientific fields but required additional coursework focused on Oportian traditions and state ideology, representing a significant shift from the previous educational system under the Second Oportian Republic.
