Education in Ancient Egypt

In Ancient Egypt, parents used to teach their children various educational principles, moral attitudes and views of life from a tender age. They would receive their basic education in the family. This was all the schooling that girls would get ;for boys it would be supplemented by proper training in whatever line they chose , or was chosen for them . Ancient Egyptian education covered both the general upbringing of a child and his training for a particular job. The upbringing of boys was left mostly in the hands of their fathers; the mothers were responsible for the upbringing of the girls. Parents made their children familiar with their ideas about the world, with their religious outlook, with their ethical principles, with correct behaviour toward others and toward the super natural beings that everyone believed in.

The educational principles of Ancient Egypt were written on papyrus commonly known as the Books of Instruction which had rules for the well-ordered life and elements of morality that include justice and wisdom .The books mostly took the form of verses addressed by a father to his son . Most of these books were put together by senior officials .Many copies of these scrolls have been made since they also served as teaching texts in schools for teaching scribes.
