1. Education pays attention to political function and social value. School education is closely integrated with the politics and religion of slavery society and directly serves it. In school education, regardless of students' personality characteristics, individuals are required to unconditionally obey the needs of the country and society, and more importantly, the needs of political rule.

2. Education has a strong religious color. In schools in ancient eastern countries, teachers were often clergy (except China), and religious institutions were also educational institutions. The school attaches importance to cultivating students' religious beliefs and moral cultivation. Most of the teaching contents also revolve around religious classics.

3. Education is strictly graded, and school education in ancient eastern countries is a symbol of social status and privilege. There are clear rules about which kind of people go to which school to study. This is determined by the class nature of the slave society, and at the same time, this educational difference has further consolidated the class nature of the slave society.

4. Education is conservative and develops slowly. This feature is limited by the economic and writing characteristics of ancient eastern countries. Most of the economies in ancient eastern countries were dominated by agricultural economy, which had little external contact, was relatively closed and changed little. The original words are very complicated, and it takes a lot of energy and time to master these complicated words, which is not easy. And the teaching content of the school is mainly religious classics, which makes the development of ancient oriental school education very slow, and also affects the development of ancient oriental school education in the future.
