Overview

Students are young (adult) citizens of the Mazes who have reached the age of majority and are pursuing studies in certain technical fields. The length of these studies can vary greatly, usually between 1 and 8 years, depending on the field, the aptitude of the student, and other circumstances.
In the Mazes, students follow a member of another occupation that has been designed as their teacher. Rather than work out of classrooms and formal environments, students are observing and learning within the environments they are studying for. The objective of every student is to acquire all of the necessary knowledge and skills to work in their chosen field and be recommended for graduation; the process in which a person transitions from student to employment. Similarly, a student must avoid being failed or rejected and kicked off the student course. Failed students can, in theory, start over from the beginning, but the vast majority orient themselves towards different jobs and occupations.
Students are grouped into classes of various sizes (ranging from singular apprentices to classes of 12-16 students) under a designated teacher, which is a member of the field of choice that was assigned a teaching role.
