Emphasize the training of soldiers
Sparta's education focused on training strong warriors, emphasizing loyalty and obedience to slave owners. Children grow up in strict family education, led by their mothers, and the state also regards children as national wealth and undertakes the responsibility of education.
Pay attention to culture and knowledge cultivation.
In contrast, the educational goals of Athens are more diverse. Besides training brave soldiers, we should pay more attention to training educated and knowledgeable politicians, thinkers and businessmen. This kind of education not only emphasizes physical education and morality, but also attaches importance to intellectual education and aesthetic education, and pursues the all-round and harmonious development of children's morality, intelligence, physique and beauty.
Familialization, autonomy and diversification
Pre-school education in Athens is characterized by family, autonomy and diversification. Family is the earliest place for children to receive education, and mothers play the role of teachers, while morality, intelligence, physique and beauty are the core contents of their study.
Have the same effect.
Sparta and Athens have their own advantages in education. Sparta paid attention to the training of soldiers, while Athens pursued the all-round development of individuals. Although there are similar results, they also have their own unique ideas and practices.
