The First Schools

Our modern schools are the successors of the ancient Roman and Greek schools. Initially in Greece the teachers taught only a single pupil at a time in fact the singular teacher and pupil relationship existed elsewhere in the world as well. Over a period of time these teachers began to hold teaching classes where more than one pupil was taught at the same time. As a result of this Academies were established and the great Greek philosopher called ‘Plato’ began to give regular educational courses extending over a period of three to four years. Later ‘Aristotle’ also set-up his school, this was followed by the first grammar school in the year 250 and subsequently the Romans also followed the Greek example and set-up schools. Today education is complicated and once the basic or primary level education is completed, there are various types of subjects and specialisations being offered to students. Modern schools are able to take care of not only the mental but also the physical development of the students.
