Educational system of Sparta of ancient Greece: The goal of education in Sparta was to produce soldier -citizens. In ancient Sparta, the purpose of education was to produce a well drilled, well disciplined marching army. When babies were born in ancient Sparta, Spartan soldiers would come by the house and check the baby. If the baby did not appear healthy and strong, the infant was taken away, and left to die on a hillside or taken away to be trained as a slave. Babies who passed this examination were assigned membership in a brotherhood or sisterhood, usually the same one to which their father or mother belonged. a) Education for boys: Spartan boys were sent to military school at age 6 or 7. They lived, trained and slept in the barracks of their brotherhood. At school, they were taught survival skills and other skills necessary to be a great soldiers. Although students were taught to read and write, those skills were not very important to the ancient Spartans. They walked barefoot, slept on hard beds, and worked at gymnastics and other physical activities such as swimming, running, jumping, javelin and discuss throwing and hunting. They were subjects to strict discipline and harsh physical punishment. At 18, Spartan boys became military cadets and learned the arts of war. At 20, they joined the state militia in which they served until they were 60 years old.                 Somewhere between the ages of 18-20, Spartan males had to pass a difficult test of fitness, military ability, and leadership skills. Any Spartan male who did not pass these examinations became a periokos. If they passed, they became a full citizen and a Spartan soldier. Spartan citizens were not allowed to touch money. That was the job of the middle class. Spartan soldiers spent most of their lives with their fellow soldiers. They ate, slept and continued to train in their brotherhood barracks. Even if they were married, they did not live with their wives and families. They lived in barracks. Military service did not end until the Spartan male reached the age 60. At age 60, a Spartan soldier could retire and live in their home with their family. b) Education for Girls: Unlike the other Greek city, Sparta provided training for girls that went beyond the domestic arts. The girls were not forced to leave home, but otherwise their training was similar to that of the boys. In Sparta, girls also went to school at age 6 or 7. They lived, slept and trained in their sisterhood's barracks. No one knows of their school was cruel or as rugged as the boy's school, but the girls were taught wrestling, gymnastics and combat skills. In any case, the Spartans believed that strong young women would produce strong babies.    At age 18, if a Sparta girl passed her skills and fitness test, she would be assigned a husband and allowed to return home. If she failed, she would lose her rights as a citizen, and became a periokos, a member of the middle class. In most of the other Greek city states, women were required to stay inside their homes most of their lives. In Sparta, citizen women were free to move around, and enjoyed a great deal of freedom, as their husbands did not live at home. No marvelous works of art or architecture came out of Sparta but Spartan military force was regarded terrifying. This, the Spartans achieved their goal. Ronjit Pator (talk) 11:52, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
