1. Roman Education Education was very important to the Romans.
Boys from poor and rich families would attend a
‘primary school’ till they were 12 years old,
learning to read, write and basic mathematics.
The girls rarely went to school, they were usually taught at home:
how to run a good household
how to make a good wife
Music and sewing
Schools were not in an individual building like today, their were usually held in part of a shop divided by a curtain. If you were wealthy, you may have had a tutor at home.
‘Secondary schools’ were held for boys from wealthy families. (12years old – 15years old)
They would study: Latin and Greek
Geography and History
Writings from great intellects e.g Cicero, Homer

2. Roman Education
Orator school : for the very wealthy, with focus on Public speaking.
Boys who would later on hold high positions in politics.
Equipment: abacus, stylus, wax tablet – could be used over and over again by spreading the wax evenly over the board.
Paper was very expensive, could only use paper if the magister was happy with their writing.
Lessons were dictated – learn the information by heart.
7 days a week (No weekend off)
But religious days and market days – off ( there were many religious days)
