questions. (7)
EDUCATION IN ANCIENT TIMES
Before people invented schools, children learned things by joining in adult
activities, like farming, hunting and cooking. Later, people invented
alphabets, so they needed schools to teach children to read and write.
We know about education in ancient Egypt from archaeological finds. The
temple schools taught religion, reading, writing and arithmetic and only
boys from rich families attended school- the girls stayed at home. In
ancient China, students studied philosophy, poetry and religion.
Two different educational systems developed in ancient Greece. In Sparta,
boys became soldiers, so they exercised and did athletics. They didnt
learn to read or write, but they learned music and dance. In Athens,
people believed that both the mind and the body needed exercise, so
they taught reading, writing, poetry, music and other arts, as well as
physical education. Both rich and poor children went to school because
education didnt cost much.
Children in Roman times started school at the age of six and at the age of
twelve they attended grammar schools. There, they learned Classics
Greek and Latin. Today, lots of schools and universities all over the world
still teach these classical languages.
