The earliest schools were in China and Greece where the students were prepared by scribes so they could record the lessons of the scholars and poets of the times. Usually such training was available to the wealthy and the instructors were employees of the students' families. (By having several students it was cheaper for the families to support the teachers).After such preparation (there were no grades but the students were judged by ability), they attended lectures by men such as Socrates, Plato, Pliny the Elder and others. There were no graduations and students continued as long as they wished and had the money to pay. Emperors in China began to use these students in Imperial Examinations to select the most qualified to become government officials and the same occured in Greece. A lot of our basic sciences, philosophy, and even history is a result of these schools.
