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 depending on the field, the aptitude of the student, and various other circumstances.
In the Mazes, students follow a member of another occupation that has been designated as their teacher. Rather than work out of classrooms and formal environments, students are observing observe and learning learn within the environments they are studying forof their chosen occupation. The objective of every student is to acquire all of the necessary knowledge and skills and eventually be recommended for ''graduation''; in other words, to transition out of studies and into "real" worktheir profession of choice. Similarly, a student must avoid being ''failed'' or ''rejected'' and kicked off removed from 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 to a teaching role. Teachers generally have near-absolute authority and latitude over their students and classes. The decision to graduate or reject a student is entirely up to the teacher's own discretion and judgment, and they can also change and adapt the length and content of their classes for any reason.
Below is a list of fields in which students (and in turn, teachers) can be found, alongside average expected training/studies time before graduation:
