What were the 3 stages of education in ancient rome?

AncientRome

did not have a formal system of education. Children of humble

background went to school until the age of 10-11. Teachers set up

their own classes for a fee. They held theclasseswhere they could,

including in the back of shops separated for the rest of the shop

by just a curtain and in the street. Elementary classes were run by

a teacher called litterator. Children learnt to read and write and

basic maths.

Children of

people who could afford it went to better classes and continued on

to the classes run by the grammaticus from the age of 9 to 12 until

the age of 14-15. They improved their writing, learnt oration,

expressive poetic reading and poetic analysis. Pupils were expected

to have some knowledge of spoken and written Greek and classes were

both in Latin andGreek..

A small

number of children went on to study with the rhetor. They studied

rhetoric. If were rich and you wanted to study further, you went to

Greece to study philosophy.

The children

of very rich people had private tuition at home.
