Welcome back to Exploring Education: Classrooms Through Time. Today, we leave the clay tablets of Mesopotamia behind and journey to the banks of the Nile, where one of the world’s most enduring civilizations flourished—ancient Egypt.

Education in ancient Egypt wasn’t just about literacy or learning to calculate the harvest. It was a sacred act, deeply intertwined with their culture, religion, and the pursuit of harmony, or maat. From the Pharaoh’s scribes to temple schools, knowledge was a precious gift meant to uphold the cosmic order.

But what did education look like in a society built around gods, kings, and monumental architecture? How did they teach the skills needed to build pyramids, record history, and appease the gods? And who were the students—and the teachers—shaping Egypt’s legacy?

In this episode, we’ll step into the temple schools and scribal houses of ancient Egypt, explore the role of education in a society driven by order and belief, and uncover how it influenced the world beyond its borders.

So grab your reed stylus and roll of papyrus—it’s time to dive into Egyptian education on Classrooms Through Time.
