The way of education in ancient Rome influenced the whole western civilization. In a few short centuries, Rome has evolved from an informal education system, that is, knowledge is passed on to children through parents, into a system with specialized schools and hierarchical management, and has been inspired by the educational practice in ancient Greece.

Education was one of the foundations of Rome's rise to become a world power at that time to ensure the rule of the provinces. In the early days of the Republic, because Rome was still dominated by agriculture and its handicrafts and commerce were underdeveloped, farmers were an important part of society. Because ancient Rome was in the period of city-state separatism, wars continued, and society needed a certain number of soldiers to exist.

Imperial period

With the establishment of empire and great changes in political system and social conditions, Roman education has also undergone great changes. There are many vocational schools in Rome, such as law schools and philosophy schools. In addition, the government has strengthened the regular inspection and strict supervision of primary schools, changed some private grammar schools and rhetoric schools into state-owned schools, and implemented the system of integrating officials with teachers.

Teachers have become an important part of the state bureaucracy, and the selection of teachers is mainly based on state schools. With Christianity becoming the state religion of the Roman Empire, Christianity began to intervene and supervise education, and the church sent priests as teachers to secular schools to crowd out and replace secular teachers.
