Elite boys were educated in either an "intellectual" curriculum of {rhetoric, poetry, classical language, math, ~~music~~, science} or a "warrior" curriculum (cf. Korean ''yangban''); by age 15 they were expected to enter into university study or equivalent in order to specialize into one or more roles in elite society. If a male failed to pass the full curriculum, he could not enter specialist training and thus was effectively banished from elite society. Those who passed the basic "intellectual" curriculum but failed to specialize usually worked as civil servants. One or more requirements could be waived for a child of exceptional ability in one area.

Elite girls also got a full education (only the "intellectual" track was available to girls), enough for them to be independent. Unlike males, however, they were not expected to undergo male specialization. Women who wished to become school teachers underwent some additional training in the subject that they were to teach. Some women, mostly those who aspired to be courtesans or to marry the most powerful aristocrats, underwent male specialist education; in fact, the word in [[Tíogall]] for 'courtesan', ''mostaħóifá'', was historically the female form of the word for 'specialist' in Netagin.
