ANSWER:

Introduction to Roman and Greek education system

The Romans education was based on the classical Greek tradition but infused with Roman politics, cosmology, and religious beliefs. The only children to receive a formal education were the children of the rich. The very rich families employed a private tutor to teach their children.

The Greek educational system is mainly divided into three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary, with an additional post-secondary level providing vocational training. Primary education is divided into kindergarten lasting one or two years, and primary school spanning six years (ages 6 to 12).

The key difference between Greek and Roman education is that Greek education involved the precise study of mathematics and science while Roman education did not. Roman education was based on Greek education. Both these systems focused only on educating boys from rich and elite families.

Influence of Roman and Greek education system in terms of educational goals

The Roman education system was based on the Greek system – and many of the private tutors in the Roman system were Greek slaves or freedmen. The educational methodology and curriculum used in Rome was copied in its provinces and provided a basis for education systems throughout later Western civilization.

Formal education was attained through attendance to a public school or was provided by a hired tutor. Informal education was provided by an unpaid teacher and occurred in a non-public setting. Education was an essential component of a person's identity. Formal Greek education was primarily for males and non-slaves.

Education aimed to harmonise body, art and soul. In Rome: Education is military, patriotic and utilitarian: reading, writing, calculus, military training and of course dedication to the motherland. Thereafter, grammar and rhetoric become more and more present at school.

In all the Greek city-states, except for Sparta, the purpose of education was to produce good citizens. Children were trained in music, art, literature, science, math, and politics. In Athens, for example, boys were taught at home until they were about six years old.

Influence of Roman and Greek education system in terms of instructional methods

Greek educational ideas and practices influenced Rome, as they did the rest of the Mediterranean world. The education of upper-class Romans was Greek schooling that later became Latin. The conquest of Greece aided this process by producing Greek slaves, some much better educated than their Roman masters.

Influence of Roman and Greek education system in terms of curriculum

Alternative learning environments is another way that the Romans reformed the educational system. This gave their people the chance to gain education even when they didn't have time or money for the traditional classroom environment, often through hands-on military training.

Greek boys went to school, but girls did not. Girls in wealthier families might have been taught to read but, most stayed at home and learned how to do housework. This was not the same everywhere, though. In Sparta, for example, girls had more freedom and they were taught how to fight.

As more Roman families could afford education came to the advent of schools. Children would gather with a single teacher to learn. Rome considered education valuable and just like in our current school system, children would advance yearly with the material gradually increasing in difficulty.

Influence of Roman and Greek education system in terms of students

They invented concrete, perfected the arch, and constructed roads and bridges that remain in use today. But neither the Greeks nor the Romans had much appreciation for technology. The technological society that transformed the world was conceived by Europeans during the Middle Ages.

Children were trained in music, art, literature, science, math, and politics. In Athens, for example, boys were taught at home until they were about six years old. Then boys went to school, where they learned to read and write. They learned to play a musical instrument, usually the flute or the lyre.
