EDUCATION WAS VERY

DIFFERENT IN SPARTA THAN IT
WAS IN THE OTHER ANCIENT
GREEK CITY-STATES. THE
PURPOSE OF EDUCATION IN
OTHER GREEK CITY-STATES WAS
TO PRODUCE GOOD CITIZENS. IN
SPARTA, THE PURPOSE WAS TO
PRODUCE A POWERFUL ARMY.

EDUCATION IN SPARTA WAS
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THE
PURPOSE
OF EDUCATION IN SPARTA WAS TO
PRODUCE AND MAINTAIN A POWERFUL
ARMY. SPARTA BOYS ENTERED
MILITARY SCHOOL WHEN THEY WERE
ABOUT SIX YEARS OLD. THEY
LEARNED HOW TO READ AND WRITE,
BUT THOSE SKILLS WERE NOT
CONSIDERED VERY IMPORTANT
EXCEPT FOR MESSAGES.
