-With approximately 950 students enrolled, the New Kourou Primary and High School was the sole educational institution in New Kourou (population ~3,000), serving Class 1 through Class 12 throughout the [[beta_age|Beta Age]]. Due to energy shortages and post‑crash constraints, classes were consolidated: one teacher led all Class 1–5 students, another handled Classes 6–9, and a third covered Classes 10–12.
+With approximately 950 students enrolled, New  Kourou Primary and High School was the only primary/secondary school in New Kourou (population ~14,000) throughout the [[beta_age|Beta Age]]. Higher‑ed needs were served by [[last_frontier_university|Last Frontier University]], also based in New Kourou. Classes ran Class 1 through Class 12, but due to energy shortages and post‑crash constraints they were consolidated: one teacher led all Class 1–5, another handled Classes 6–9, and a third covered Classes 10–12.
-Curriculum adapted [[the_humans|exohuman]] [[the_alpha_age|Alpha Age]] pedagogy to [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] realities — reflecting the necessity for a highly advanced civilization, post-crash, to return to fundamental survival and resource management skills. It blended traditional subjects with frontier culture, survival skills, and rudimentary hydro‑agriculture.

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-In perpetual twilight, filtered light seeps through translucent roof panels onto patched wooden floors, casting long, muted shadows The faint scent of woodsmoke from the biomass stove mingles with chalk dust. Student‑made posters of native flora and fauna line the walls. In the quiet classroom, the scratch of chalk on board is punctuated by soft laughter and the hum of dynamos powering a holo‑projector for the day’s lesson.
+The school looks as improvised as it is. To ensure that the settlers' children did not fall behind, a temporary campus was quickly set up after the crash landing to enable lessons to begin as soon as possible, despite the adverse conditions. However, the difficult conditions do not seem to affect the children at school. During breaks, they play, scream, and romp around just like children once did on Earth, 102 light-years away.
-Outside in the gravel play yard, children dart between worn goal posts and practice climbing on makeshift gyms carved from driftwood. The occasional shout of triumph echoes as they dodge around the Maintenance Bot — which flashes a friendly blue light before resuming its chore of oiling gate hinges and clearing debris. Even here, the hush of perpetual dusk gives every movement an almost dreamlike quality, broken only by the distant whir of dynamos and the rhythmic scrape of boots on gravel.
