There really is not an answer to this question, since even in prehistoric times people passed knowledge among each other. It is very possible this may have even been done in formal ways; we will never know. We do know that a lot of modern educational theory dates to ancient Greece and that the first universities were in Egypt (at the time it was part of the Greek empire). Education, though, had been going on long before either of those civilizations.

Developed education? As if someone actually sat down and devised a plan to impart their knowledge on another! I'm sure in the earliest times, we learned by observation and imitation. There wasn't much organized education back when cave men were running the show!

as phrased, this is a tough question to answer, but if you are referring to how one generation passes vital/important information to the next, education probably began with families or family groups. formal schools are relatively recent inventions, say in the last 2500 years or so. but, elders, apparently, have felt a need for much longer than that to make sure the young know certain things -- like tribal initiations, baptism in christian churches, or bar and bat mizvahs among jewish communities. every culture has such rites as marks of social identification.

No one will ever give an exact answer. The first mother who could speak and show how it goes probably told her children waht and how to do. This is education.
If the question is meant to discover the first institutional teacher ... well, I think again nobody can answer.

It goes back extraordinarily far. Its in our nature to teach and teaching is essential to our survival as a human race. As far back as the stone age, people were being educated on how to hunt, forage, birth and keep people alive.
I hope this helps your curiosity.

Education began way back in b.c. times. They didn't always have schools way back when, but people preached and taught things. Maybe even the cavemen had to teach things......we never know.

sumerians and Egyprians did. They were the first societies to conduct formal classes.
