Education in ancient civilizations varied depending on gender and social class. Boys typically received more formal schooling than girls and were taught skills related to their father's occupation. For wealthy families, both boys and girls could receive private tutoring to learn subjects like reading, writing, and mathematics. In modern Canada, every child receives equal access to education regardless of gender.

didn’t get education.
• Girls were taught to serve, (ex: cook, clean,
wash clothes, etc.)
• Schools taught writing, reading, math, and sports
as well as morals and manors. At the age of
fourteen, sons of farmers or craftsmen joined
their dads in their jobs.

3. • At the age of four boys education was
taken over by the fathers.
• Because of all the trading that ancient
Egypt did the children that were boys help
their father with trading.

good education and a good life.

children, clean, and surprisingly make
clothes.
• Girls usually did all of the house-work.
• Education was usually taught by the
parents.

5. • Your job was most likely to be the job your father
had, for example if your Dad was a farmer then
you would be taught to be a farmer.

educated on the points of working the farm and
being a farmer.

primary school.

choose the subject.

of education in reading and writing.

9. • For boys who always got things wrong, some
schools had a policy of having students held
down by two slaves while his tutor beat him with
a leather whip.

houses.

the same amount of education.

freedoms so Canada is more fair.
