The modern sane person has no doubts about the value of education, which attaches human to the achievements of civilization and prepares him/her for the independent creative activity in chosen field of employment. The family and university play important role in education, because the education process appears from the family and teaching process – from the higher education institution. Education is the part of state policy. It is budgeted with significant costs in each state.
In the ancient states the education and teaching were carried out mainly in the family. In the transition era from the communal to the slave system the old traditions of family education are kept and changed in the Ancient civilizations of the East. Pedagogical prerogatives of the patriarchal family have been fixed in the literary monuments of the Ancient East, as the Laws of the Babylonian King Hammurabi (1750 BC), The book of Proverbs of Jewish King Solomon (early 1st millennium BC), The Indian Bhagavad Gita (the middle 1st millennium BC), etc. |
