The educational system in the townships would divide students into eight tiers, providing appropriate education and changing their classifications as needed.
Tier Seven: These students are classified as geniuses (IQ at least 140). Such children will be rare and their education will be taken care of outside of the regular system.
Tier Six: These students are classified as above average (IQ 115-140). Such children will attend their local high schools, probably with special classes.
Tier Five: These students are classified as high average (IQ 100-115). Such children will attend their local high schools.
Tier Four: These students are classified as low average (IQ 85-100). Such children will receive technical training following elementary school.
Tier Three: These students are classified as borderline (IQ 70-90). Such children will receive simpler technical training following elementary school.
Tier Two: These students are classified as educable (IQ 50-75). Such children will receive a basic elementary education.
Tier One: These students are classified as trainable (IQ 25-50). Such children's education will focus on skills for getting through daily life.
Tier Zero: These children will be profoundly retarded and need to be cared for throughout their lives. Such children will be extremely rare (for example, the whole of the DRC will average about thirty a year).
Elementary classes would focus on teaching reading, writing, arithmetic, history, basic science, and spoken English and Swahili. They would be taught solely in native languages.
High school classes would focus on history, math, science, and literature. Math and science would be taught in English, while other subjects would be taught bilingually.
