The University of Bologna, Italy, was founded in 1088 and is the oldest one in Europe. ), one of the most learned men of all time, became the first private teacher in history. Born into a once-honorable family that had fallen on bad times, he found himself with no chance of being educated. However, he gained such a reputation for his determination and thirst for knowledge that people sought him out to teach their sons. In Sparta, boys were given military training from ages seven to twenty to prepare them for service in the army. For their lessons, the students used a wax-covered board with a stylus to carve out letters in the wax. When completed, the wax was smoothed over again and reused. The subjects they learned were reading, writing, basic math, music, and physical training. At the age of eighteen, most boys were required to join the army for two years of training. After military training, boys from wealthy families studied under a sophist. According to a 2014 report by the Council of Higher Education, policies for education and teacher training must work hand in hand with teaching programmes as they are both crucial for successfully implementing plans and ideas. Policies that can help improve the quality of education include providing text books free of charge, removing barriers to women’s access, reforming curricula, training teachers to implement new pedagogical concepts in the classroom, and using information and communications technologies. Encouraging critical thinking, in particular, is important to educational quality and so has been added to political agendas in some countries such as Nigeria. An important issue for the next generation of Africa’s academics is women’s prospects for equal participation in higher education. Greek girls were not taught the same subjects as boys. They were usually taught reading and writing, but were not taught other subjects. They were taught to cook, sew, and care for children. Like boys, girls were sometimes given a different education depending on where they lived. In Sparta, even girls were given light military duties. They were also expected to do a lot of exercise so that they would have healthy babies who could serve in the army.
