Learning about Athens’ and Sparta’s education system is important because this information can help us develop as a modern society and improve our own education system by looking at what worked and didn’t work for ancient Greece. It’s also a very fascinating topic to learn about, there’s different evidence to support both sides but I’m here to share my knowledge on why Athens’ education system was better than Sparta’s.
Reason 1: Better values
In ancient greece Spartan women had a lot of rights that Athenian women did not have, they could vote, own property, could talk to their husband’s friends, and they could even remarry. Athenian women on the other hand had much less rights.
