New School System

New School System

After reading the two articles on the different school systems of the ancient societies I came to the conclusion that the Sumerians system was the more advanced for of system out of the two. The Egyptians was more geared towards servitude to the crown and not towards educating the general public. They were more into preparing the scribes to be able to serve the king and other members of the royal parties, such as government officials, army generals and other prominent members of the Egyptian society.
Egyptians scribal school, were ran by the priests, who were directly under the control of the crown. Their school curriculums were solely based on the principle of writing and reading, just the basic skills necessary to do their duties efficiently. The priests were only there to teach specific lessons, nothing more than the basic reading and writing were allowed to be thought to the students. The schools were closed enrolment only, only certain people were allowed to receive an education.
The Mesopotamian system was a more advance system of education because their school even though it was still under the control of the king, the subject were far more than the basic reading and writing, they ventured to such subjects as math, science and astrology. Each of these subjects was geared toward better understanding the world around them.
Then Sumerian systems, which are similar to the form of education system we are currently using today, this system consist of a sort of chain of command. This chain consists of a school father, a big brother of the school, teachers and school sons. The school father is the principle, the person who’s in charge of enrollment, paying the teachers and putting together the school’s activities. The vice principle is the school’s big brother and he is in charge of making sure the teachers had their lessons and also to be there when the students recite their lessons.
