How is education in Egypt

education

La Education in the Ancient Egypt it presents great distances from the educational system of our society today. Education was originally closely linked to the family. After the age of 4, the children learned by imitating some profession of their parents, which could be agricultural work, work in workshops or vineyards, among others.

Education in Ancient Egypt could vary depending on the social rank to which one belonged. The Pharaoh for example, he was the only one who did not act as a tutor with his children since this task was done by real tutors.

The wealthy had more privileges, for example princes and princesses had access to literature, mathematics, writing and grammar. However, the children of farmers and fishermen had much more limited access to education and were engaged in cultivation, gathering and fishing.

Education was completely routine. The students had a syllabary with which they learned in order the usual signs with their respective pronunciation and meaning. The teacher made the corrections of the exercises pointing out the errors in the drawing and in the spelling.

Undoubtedly, this scenario has nothing to do with the current educational system, according to the vast majority of world standards.
