Education in ancient Egypt aimed at the following:

i) Perpetuate the social stability and maintain the status quo. The process of education was meant to enhance a socially hierarchical society by slotting members into their respective socio-political and economic stations.

ii) Produce professionals and work-oriented personnel. It was a practical, technical and professional education meant to equip the members with relevant skills to develop the social, political, economic and religious structures of society.

iii) Foster the development of a complex agricultural practice for food production.

iv) Enhance the people's spiritual and religious training for purposes of strengthening their religious and moral development and piety to the gods. Education was not just meant for preparing people for life but also prepared them for life after death.
