Student sample

their time, Athenians were considered well rounded individuals. According to Gutek (1995) the Athenian educational goal was to produce the person of broad culture, liberally educated in all those activities which were distinctively humane. Athenians promoted individualism; early on students were not required to attend schools but most choose to. Athenian schools eventually evolved from primitive and unstructured to specialized and divergent institutions. Three types of educators appeared in Athens; the grammatist (reading and writing), the citharist (music and literature), and the paedotribe (physical education).

Modern educational practices offer students the opportunity to be educated by teachers with specializations, and often in specialized schools. Physical education is also emphasized in today’s educational practices. Another similarity to today is that Athenians men could seek higher education from competing philosophical schools. The most glaring difference between modern education and Greco education is the lack of formal education given to women. The women of Athens were not enfranchised, could not attend the Assembly, and did not have property rights (Gutek, 1995). In contrast, modern education within the United States entitles every child to a free and appropriate education.

Like today, Athenian cultured greatly impacted their education and vice versa. For example, military strength and strategy was key to the commercial expansion and economic growth. Upon acheive success in these areas the Popular Assembly later required military training for all men 18-20. As a result of the impact of social change on Athenian life, the young man who wished to be successful in business and politics needed to continue his education by pursuing higher studies (Gutek, 1995). Athenian education helped create some of the most influential minds ever.
