Ancient Egyptian Education

There were a limited number of schools.

Only the royalty and wealthy attended these schools,

or those whose careers would be a scribe or a priest.

These schools were only attended by boys. The

ordinary people were educated at home.

Girls were taught in the home by their mothers.

Pharaohs

Pharaohs were at the highest level in the social structure.

The pharaoh was the political, religious, and economic leader of the Egyptians.

Menes was the first pharaoh and first king of unified Egypt.

The Rich Vs. The Poor

The rich Egyptians wore wigs, while the other classes would

wear their hair long or in pigtails.

The homes of the wealthy were made of double-thick walls

that increased the security of the house. The homes of the

poor were only one brick thick.

Those who were wealthy had a large variety of foods, while

those who were poor had a very basic menu.
