Instead of tuition, children pay by contributing labor, and it is seen as part of their education (artwork, construction, farming, etc.). They may wish to continue on to university (tho usually only the elites do). Girls are taught housework and are discouraged from military subjects, but it is not forbidden, and may go on to university or stop once married.

• Abijani War of Independence (Year 445)

The Kingdom of Abijan was founded in y. 445 by rebels who wanted to reclaim their identity, as well as ensure a balance of power between the two existing kingdoms, Ashra and Lounuon, after the continent of Leos sank (thus losing its sway over the kingdoms of the other continent).

The rebellion was first incited by the Ashra region of Abijan, and with the support of the main kingdom of Ashra, but gained quick support from the Lounuon region. It wasn't until y. 451 that Abijan was able to drive off the Empire from the Lounuon-held region, thanks to their superior desert technology and fighting tactics.
