School was never invented. To be precise school never invented or started by any one person in particular.

Earliest known school or teaching academy (residential) was known as Gurukul. This existed as ancient as 5000 BC (at least if not earlier). A Gurukul (Guru refers to "teacher" or "master"; Kul refers to his domain) is a type of ancient Hindu school in India that is residential in nature with the shishyas or students and the guru or teacher living in proximity, many a time within the same house. The Gurukul is the place where the students resided together as equals, irrespective of their social standing. The students learns from the guru and also helps the guru in his day-to-day life, including the carrying out of mundane chores such as washing clothes, cooking, etc. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurukul

Oldest known organized schools -
An academy is an institution of higher learning, research, or honorary membership. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademeia, a sanctuary of Athene, the goddess of wisdom, north of Athens. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy

Nalanda University - 5th to 12th century AD - http://www.indiantravels.com/world-heritage-sites/nalanda-university.html

Established in 859, Jami'at al-Qarawiyyin (located in Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque) in the city of Fas (Fez), is considered the oldest madrasah (school) in the Muslim world. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrasa

It depends on how you perceive the word school, if you refer to the building then I would say carpenters. But if you refer to a place where we first learned things, I would say parents invented school because it is at home where we all had our first education and lessons in life.

learning began with the dawn of man. As we progressed as humans, individuals would gather around those with the most experience/skill of the group (the elders of the tribe) to learn from them. Lesson's learned were shared or new discoveries that would help the younger members avoid the same mistakes and/or improve upon the accepted methods and processes.

School (as you think of it - - a place of learning) is simply a natural progression from the earliest times.

It was developed in ancient civilizations. Only boys attended and it was small groups that met with a master mostly to become government officials.

It is not known who really invested schools - but the development of the modern school can be traced back to the academies of the Greeks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schools#History_and_development_of_schools So if you are looking to blame it on anyone - just blame it on the ancient Greeks and don't worry about it they are all dead and won't really care.

Good Luck!!!
