Sumerian school is different from modern school. This is a special cultural center. Students should not only copy and learn ancient literary works, but also create new works. Most students can usually work as bookkeepers in courts, temples, nobles or rich people's homes after graduation. There are also a few students who stay in school to teach or engage in research work. Like today's university professors, these ancient scholars made a living by preaching and teaching, and engaged in academic research or literary creation in their spare time. Sumerian school is the earliest attachment of the temple, and the temple priest is the earliest teacher. Later, the school gradually separated from the temple, and the educational content was secularized. There was no compulsory education in ancient Sumer, and students had to pay tuition to go to school. Therefore, most students come from wealthy families. Interestingly, the names of female bookkeepers were not found in Sumerian literature, which shows that only men could go to school at that time, and women were deprived of the right to education.
