 Education is as old as life itself because
prehistoric man must have passed on to his
offspring, consciously or unconsciously,
certain skills and attitudes that enabled them
To survive
 Lesson1.1
Primitive Education

The term education can be applied to primitive

cultures only in the sense of enculturation, which is
the process of cultural transmission. A primitive
person, whose culture is the totality of his
universe, has a relatively fixed sense of cultural
continuity and timelessness. The model of life is
relatively static and absolute, and it is transmitted
from one generation to another with little
deviation.

Lesson1.2:Egyptian Education
Education in ancient Egypt was shaped by its
conservative social system. While education was valued
it was largely restricted to the children of those with
mears. As the same families offen staffed civilian and
military positions in the palace administration across
generations, education was one of the means by which
institutional memory was transferred down the
generations.

Greek education
• The Greeks were a nation of at least two principal
components - Aryan and Germanic people. But because
of the presence of natural barriers such as mountains and
bodies of water, they lived in tribal isolation and
developed differences.

• Because of the terrain which isolated the people into

small groups, the Greek state was small. Hence, every
citizen had a chance to participate in all affairs of the state
as a soldier, member of the assembly, judge, or a state
official depending upon his qualifications. To the Greek,
we trace the beginning of creative activity and logical
thinking that have made for genuine intellectual progress.
One may say that Greeks gave the era of higher culture
and enlightenment.
• Ancient Greece was the birthplace of
western civilization about 2500 years ago.
Greek civilization developed chiefly in
small city-states. These city-states were
fiercely independent and often quarreled
among themselves. They had their own
laws and governance. There were many
Greek city-states but two of them rose
above all others. These were SPARTA and
ATHENS. These two cities got fame and
power than the other city-states.
