I revised the description after some discussion: the above now 
represents the  situation before the Ice Demons destroyed the old Empire.

These days, the Lucians just try to educate as many children as they 
can, however they can. In practice, this means that only children whose 
parents want them educated and can afford fees go to school for more 
than a year or two.

In terms of paying for it all, it was a lot easier when Sedonia 
controlled nearly all the continent. That's why universal schooling is 
just an ideal these days.
