Outline the aims of education in ancient Greece.

Answers

Martin
The aims of education in ancient Sparta was to:

i) train soldiers and warriors,

ii) train obedient and loyal citizens, and

iii) form people who were modest, caring, enduring, hardy, strong and social.

Although reading and writing were taught, they were not emphasized in the education of the boys. A major characteristic in this system of education was the emphasis given to religion which was important in preparing god fearing, moral and military socialists. Education focused more on training in military might especially training people in the art of war for membership in citizens' clubs.
