CEVAP:

Education differed for boys and girls. Boys were educated to become good citizens and take part in the public life of the city-state. Girls were taught housekeeping and how to care for the family. Most Greek children never went to school, girls were educated at home. The boys started school at the age of 7, and stayed until they were about 14. In the mornings they learned to read, write, and do simple math. They worked in one room, sitting on stools or benches. They read aloud and learned poetry by heart. Boys from wealthy families had a broader education including philosophy.

The education of Greek children differed in each polis.
