Is the next patch (economy 4.0? lol) going to fix the absurd schooling timelines?

Seriously, in a city of 160k, how does this make sense? If you take a 12 year education journey, and say elementary/middle is 8 years, that means 75% of people are in elementary school. if you add 35524+5108, you get everyone involved in the 12 year education journey, which adds up to 40632, and if divide it by the elementary school class, 35524/40632= It's 87%!!! 8% higher than what it realistically should be. Is education soon to be reworked? Because right now it doesn't make sense!

The capital city of My area has a population of 1 million.
With a total number of schools = 220
54% of number of schools is Elementary

There are 238,470 people between the ages of 0 and 19.

There are 167,000 students in Elementary, Kindergarten and High School. 16.7% of population.

160,000 x .167 = 26,720 40,000/160,000 = 25%

But if all the kids go to school from 0 to 19 (238,000) that would be 23.8% of the population.

The thing is in Edmonton there still aren't enough schools to be optimal. So this is underfunded.

Of course we don't have 0 to 4 going to school in real life 61,000 kids. But start em' young!
I don't know what age qualifies for kids in school in CS2.

The wiki just says child, teen, adult and senior for this game. So I am guessing as soon as one is born it turns into a child and goes to school. So it kind of makes sense to have a little bloated elementary population.

Plus the weird mechanic of getting jobs out of elementary school and ballooning household wealth bug.

In my city i have ballooning household wealth. I don't know if they have incentive to go to higher education. LoL I heard on YouTube a girl said if you fulfill your industry demand the population will just be happy with industry jobs and not move into office. That was an old video but not sure if she was right about that game mechanic

And it becomes funnier when you reduce the efficiency to 50%...

I didn't check it this information is correct but ... :

But it's a little outdated, No information if they changed it successfully.

Haven't get into the number lately, because after all, the city works no matter if there are lots of schools or not, but I remember not so long ago following the live of some Cims, and discover that they started school, then left for high school, then go back to school...

There are lots of things to solve in simulation.

I seen that video as well. I think I've seen every CS2 video. LOL


The children don't leave elementary school until they are teens. So they spend a longer span in Elementary. I think that's the logic.
From birth to 12. And High School is just for teens. A shorter period of time..

Also don't forget most citizen in game will live up to 120 years for balancing reasons while in real life that situation is a bit different
