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.
