This entry is intended to be a high level version of what every citizen should know. It is therefore a high level description of what should be taught to kids at an early age. How early is debatable, but probably around secondary school beginning time. This should all be teachable by one person. It is stupid to expect kids to learn more than one person can teach them, unless they are going into fine detail. This overview is not intended to provide fine detail. However, the level of detail will vary from subject to subject since the latest knowledge in each field varies. For example, knowledge about the early earth is significantly less certain than specfic mathematical sub topics.

(No doubt there are other restrictions and caveats you will be able to spot.)
