Only the sons of the nobles¹ attended the first Egyptian schools. They learned reading, good behaviour and got physical education there. In ancient China education consisted of learning the scriptures² by heart. Sparta and Athens were two Greek states. The Spartans, hard and warlike people, got military education. At the age of 7 all boys of noble families left their homes and lived in groups under very strict discipline. The Spartans learned to use weapons. The Athenians had a programme of physical training. As time went on they paid special attention to reading, writing and literature. A special teacher known as the “grammatist” taught them. Common people didn’t get education. Greek ideas of what education should include influenced European education, especially secondary and university education.

Roman schools were free of charge. These schools provided three stages of education. At 6 or 7 boys (and some girls) went to the primary schools where they learned reading, writing and arithmetic. At 12 or 13 boys of the rich families went on to the “grammar” school to study the Greek and Latin languages and literature. At 16 young nobles who wanted to go into politics went to schools of rhetoric. These schools trained public speakers. In Great Britain the first teachers were craftsmen³. They taught children to read, write, count and cook. The Monitorial system⁴ was the main system of teaching in Great Britain at the beginning of the 19^th century. The teacher had a class of 100 pupils and senior pupils or “monitors” helped him.

1. the nobles – знать

2. scripture – священное писание

3. craftsman – ремесленник

4. Monitorial system of teaching – Ланкастерская система обучения (с использованием учащихся старших классов для преподавания в младших классах в общеобразовательной школе в целях снижения затрат на ее содержание). Была введена педагогом Джозефом Ланкастером.
