World’s First School and Teacher: Who was the world’s first teacher, where was the world’s first school opened?

The profession of a teacher is the biggest profession in the world today. The number of people teaching in schools and higher education institutions all over the world is said to be more than 80 million. These include teachers of primary, secondary and high school as well as college-university. However, there was one teacher because of whom Teacher’s Day is celebrated today. he/she was India’s first Vice President and second President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. But have you ever wondered who was the first teacher in the world?

School was started in Egypt

The world’s first school was started in ancient Egypt in 3000 BC, where priests taught children to read and write. They taught humanities and mathematics to children. Around the same time, priests in Mesopotamia started teaching reading and writing along with astrology and medicine. However, no one knows whether these priests were ever called teachers or not. In such a situation, when we talk about the world’s first teacher, two names come to the fore, one Confucius and the other Aristotle.

Both are favorites of scholars

The history of the scholarship of Confucius and Aristotle is more than two thousand years old. The philosophy of Confucius was studied not only in China, but also in Japan and Korea. The philosophy of Aristotle left a deep impact on the philosophy of Europe and Arabia. Therefore, today literature related to the philosophy of Confucius and Aristotle is available in abundance. Both of these are favorite subjects of philosophical scholars. In such a situation, how can the philosophy of education be an exception to this. However, it cannot be said with certainty about both of them that who among them is the first teacher in the world?
