Ancient Egyptian Schools:
In Egypt to have respect you must have to be literate and have a job. One interesting thing about Egypt it the society was not literate. Very few people in Egypt were educated. People in Egypt that were considered to be practical only taught their children subject that could possibly be useful in the future. In the old Kingdom, there was no evidence found that any time of formal school even existed.
The princes in Egypt taught the young princes of the future, and also youths that were considered favored were tutored by the King’s children.In the new Kingdom there were two schools, in a place called Thebes, one located in a Temple called Mut Temple, another school in the back of the Ramesseum, with a possibility a third located in a valley known as Deir el Medina. This is where the children and workmen were taught. They had no set times. Considering the time fame was in BC their alphabet was much more difficult then our common system.
Their schools were called scribe schools. It seems the boys that came from wealthy families were sent to the scribe schools and were trained to be scribes. The girls were not allowed to go to school, they were to only learn from home to be taught by their mother, or father or a private tutor. If they were not taught linguistics, then the only other things they were taught were singing, racing, weaving, cooking, etc. There were not many girls that could read or write.
