Academies and preferred profiencies is something I really want to add, as it gives characters from each city a unique flavor.

Quick and dirty rule #1 - if public education and level 3 than the ruler may designate a single general proficiency per market. All adults in that market will have that proficiency. If public education is level 4 (along with public education) the ruler may choose two general proficiencies or one class proficiency for that market.
Academys might either:
1) increase # of a particular class (or classes) availible in nearby markets,
2) provide an increase of education level for a 6 mile hex, increasing the positive results of a new type of domain expenditure - 'propaganda'. Propaganda can influence morale (or support radicals for those trying to bring down a domain), but only if a certain level of education exists,
3) provide a single proficiency that 1/5 of all peasants in the area will know - may increase domain income for that hex..
