After the Paleolithic era, humanity began to settle. Villages grew into cities, and those cities birthed civilizations. One of the first? Mesopotamia—the cradle of civilization."

In this episode of Classrooms Through Time, we travel to ancient Mesopotamia, a land of invention and innovation. Here, the world’s first schools emerged, where students learned to read, write, and calculate—skills that would lay the foundation for society as we know it.

But what did education look like in the world’s first schools? Who got to learn? And what was the purpose of their lessons—was it about fostering knowledge or maintaining power?

Join us as we step into the scribal schools of Mesopotamia, where clay tablets were the textbooks and cuneiform the script. We’ll uncover the role of education in shaping one of humanity’s earliest and most influential civilizations."

So grab your stylus and clay tablet—it’s time to explore Mesopotamian education on Classrooms Through Time.
