Not very many boys and girls went to school in Ancient Egypt. Most of these boys and girls came from rich families and went to scribal school. They went to school so maybe one distant day they could grow up and enter the royal service, maybe even a famous pharaoh or wealthy scribe. In scribal school, they still used the utensils of a scribe: a reed brush, ink made out of soot and water, and the world’s first paper papyrus. If you were not going to study to be a scribe, you would probably not go to scribal school. However some people who were not scribes did have a scribal school education. Instead you would become an apprentice. For example, if you wanted to become a doctor, you would go to work with a doctor and learn from him. If you wanted to become a baker, you would become a baker’s apprentice and work with him to learn how to be a baker. |
