PRIMITIVE EDUCATION
• Education is as old as life itself and must have passed on to their offspring, consciously and unconsciously, organized or unorganized, certain skills and attitude that enabled them to survive.
• Primitive education strives to secure the continued existence of the group by restricting the activities of its members.

Primitive Education is Relatively Simple
Mans’ activities are to feed, clothe, shelter and protect himself and those dependent to

Has Narrow Social and Cultural Contacts
• His tribe is small area but the life of the tribe bounds the world oh his thinking and his sympathies.
• People are extraordinarily conservative and prone to superstition. They cling with great tenacity to old ideas and ways of behaviour. They believe in magic and in unseen beings, ghost, spirits and deities. Illness, famine and storms are attributed to actions of ill-disposed spirits. The safety of the group depends on witch doctors and faithfulness with religious duties and ceremonies.

The Organization of Primitive Life is Tribal not Political
One function of education is to enable one to live with his relatives.

The Absence of Reading and Writing
They possessed the art and information but they lack the methods by which they collected and available for use. They have stories, songs, implements and institutions but their educational activities are directed to the transmission of learning and not to the learners’ development or the increase of knowledge or the discovery of new skills.

WAY OF LEARNING DURING THE PRIMITIVE PERIOD
• Observation of activities in which they will later be participants
• Simple telling and demonstration of how things are done.
• Learn from consequences to avoid that which is dangerous.

The only Educational Program found in the primitive societies is the participation
of the young in rituals and ceremonies and in the incidental apprenticeship to the activities of the family and the tribe.

When Nomadic Tribes finally settled down, civilization developed and most are found in the region of Mesopotamia and Nile. As a result of conquering others tribe, they were able to establish a higher level culture with a well-organized political, economic, and religious institution which is centralized to maintain their ways of living. This made necessary a longer period of training for the members of the tribe to provide them with the skills needed to cope with complex living.

EDUCATION IN EGYPT
Egyptian Education has been chosen as
a prototype of an era for elaboration. It
became the birthplace of ideas of
righteousness, character, conscience,
the concept of god, and arts.

Apprenticeship Method
• The father transferred to his son the necessary skills to run his life.
• On the higher social circles, boys were train to read and write by Scribes. Literacy was needed because of the organization of the state is staffed by civil officials. The court school was an apprenticeship in the duties of royalty where court officials taught a group of boys aspiring for office.

Three Aspect of Egyptian Education
• Vocational Training• Learning to write• Good conduct
These are not separate subject but correlated activities. Only knowledge and activities that are useful were being transcended. An Egyptian boy prefers application and does not reach a high level of theoretical intelligence. They were motivated by appealing to their ambition and by punishment.

TEMPLES

Military is acquired by parental apprenticeship.

Decline of Egyptian Progress and Education
• Teachers were obstinately conservative• Formalism (any practice or ideas became the fixed habit of
the people)• Egyptian were mentally lazy• The incapacity of Egyptian Mind to ascend from the
practical and empirical to the scientific and universal. • Conceptual thinking, reasoning, creative imagination and
intellectual curiosity were foreign to them• They don’t have love for knowledge for its own sake.

GREEK EDUCATION
(The Era of Higher Culture and Enlightenment)
![Page 20: Ancient roman education report](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549d0638b4795991318b4908/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The beginning of creative activity and logical thinking that have made for genuine intellectual progress, the Greeks are nation of the Aryans and the Germanic people. The Greek state favoured a small and separate political unit so that each citizen could participate directly to civic and military affairs. Greek Cities were totalitarian and claimed full authority over the life of individuals (Greek considered to be the road to honor and glory). Marriage was duty to the state and a matter of religion and patriotism. To fulfill well the duties of citizenship was the chief essential of Greek Morality.

The Spartans
![Page 23: Ancient roman education report](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549d0638b4795991318b4908/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The government of Sparta prevent the citizen from being centered upon any public interest. Family life was reduced to minimum because they believe that this may lead to money making, which results to social inequality that may lead to the danger of the group. Their constitution reads more like a description of military academy than a government. Life of the individual was absolutely subservient to the public welfare. Public authorities decide whether marriage is sanctioned or forbidden and children belong to the state. A Spartan has all the time for the art of war, and training of the soldier. Every man was the father and schoolmaster to every Spartan boy.

THE ATHENS
![Page 27: Ancient roman education report](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549d0638b4795991318b4908/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Athenians are known to be inventive, versatile, enterprising, self-confident, and extremely
artistic. They are shallow and temperamental, talkative, pleasure loving, and incapable of a
deep sense of obligation to moral law. The social scale is composed of the citizens who own the land, the aliens who are engaged to commerce
and manufacturing, and the saves. Athens is the first state in the world where
all human capacities were allowed to develop freely. Education is a family prerogative.
