-===== Examinations and Post-Graduation Pathways =====
-At the end of their twelfth year, students at JHAHS take the Federal Graduation Exams (FGE), a standardized assessment designed to evaluate their knowledge and skills across the curriculum. The exams test students' proficiency in core areas such as Mathematics, ExoEnglish, Natural Sciences, and Native Culture, as well as their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in subjects like Politics & Philosophy.
-Following the exams, the GAIA system evaluates each student's performance, aligning their results with the broader needs of the Annual Plan. GAIA not only considers academic achievements but also analyzes societal and workforce demands, ensuring that ExoHuman resources are utilized efficiently.
-Based on this evaluation, students are directed into one of two pathways:
-  * **Higher Education:** Students selected for advanced studies continue their education at [[danah_wanah_university_of_new_kourou|Danah Wanah-University]], focusing on fields deemed critical for the Federal Confederation's growth and sustainability.
-  * **Vocational Training:** Students not pursuing higher education enter apprenticeship programs or vocational schools, where they learn essential skills for occupations aligned with the Annual Plan's resource allocation goals.
-This system ensures that the Federal Confederation maintains a balanced workforce, supporting its principles of sustainability and communal well-being.

-  * **Analog Alert System:** The building is equipped with an [[analog_alert_system|Analog Siren System]] to immediately notify  the [[headquarter_of_the_federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff’s Headquarters]] in the event of a safety threat.
 ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
+  * **Adventure Hook — The Valedictorian in the Wind:** On the eve of FGE week, the top senior vanishes between study hall and curfew. His bunk is made, locker cleared — but a ciphered set of workshop notes remains, hinting at catalysts and field caches. Whispers name the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]], yet their purpose is unclear: cheat ring, drug precursor, or a bid to unlock war-era stockpiles? Uneasy about a wider plot, the Federal Sheriff quietly deputizes the PCs. Track forged weekend permits, swapped WFB crates, and penciled maplets through perpetual twilight before the exam bell tolls—and the trail goes cold.
-The school provides an excellent setting for engaging role-playing and narrative opportunities:
-  * **Investigative Missions:** Players could explore the school to uncover hidden secrets or lost relics from the Last Frontier spaceship integrated into the building.
-  * **Student-Centric Quests:** Interact with students, assisting with assignments, resolving conflicts, or addressing issues tied to the cultural integration of ExoHumans and Native Tribes.
-  * **Boarding School Dynamics:** Engage in stories revolving around boarding school life, such as managing disputes among students, helping with meal preparations in the cafeteria, or addressing security concerns.
-  * **Cultural Exchange:** The school’s emphasis on Native Language & Native Culture offers opportunities for cultural diplomacy and encounters with representatives of the Native Tribes.
-  * **Philosophical Debates:** Players could partake in or influence classroom discussions on politics and philosophy, potentially impacting societal perspectives.
-  * **Security Breaches:** With its strict security measures, the school could become a target for external threats or sabotage, providing opportunities for players to intervene.
