The topic of this presentation is ancient Aztec Education. We will be talking about the Ancient Aztec Education evolution, the system, History, Benifits, Problems, and the simmilarties it has to todays education.
Ancient Aztec Education System
The way the Ancient Aztec Education System worked was they learned to be leaders, priests, scholars or teachers, healers or codex painters. They learned literacy, history, religious rituals, calendrics, geometry, songs and the military arts. It started at home with their parents. From age four or five, boys learned and worked with their fathers at a trade or craft, farming, hunting and fishing. Girls learned from their mothers all the tasks they would need in running a household.

Ancient Aztec Education Benefits
The ancient Aztec education system provided several benefits to its society, helping to maintain social order, cultural continuity, and practical skill development. Education helped create a shared set of values, beliefs, and practices, fostering a strong sense of identity and unity among the Aztec people. Aztec education prepared individuals for their roles in society. the education system developed future leaders, priests, and warriors. This ensured that the Aztec state had well-trained elites capable of managing religious ceremonies, leading in battle, and ruling effectively. Education was closely tied to religion, teaching children respect for the gods and proper moral conduct, and other benefits.
Ancient Aztec Education Evolution
Before the education was becoming established, children were primarilly taught at home. As the Aztec Empire grew in power and size, formal education institutions were developed. There were two distinct schools. There were schools for commoners, focusing on practical skills such as farming, warfare, and crafts. It also taught basic history, religion, and moral conduct. There were also schools for the nobility and elite, where students received advanced education in leadership, law, religion, astronomy, and writing. They also prepared for roles as priests, rulers, or military commanders. The aztec's education was very inclusive, allowing both boys and girls to gain an education. While the curriculum differed based on gender and social class, girls were also educated, primarily in religion, household management, and occasionally in higher learning if they aimed to become priestesses.

Ancient Aztec Simmiliarities to modern life
- Modern militaries are much larger in scale, often with global reach and highly complex logistics. They coordinate ground, air, and naval forces, relying on modern communication and transportation technologies to operate over vast distances.
- While the Aztec Empire was vast and powerful for its time, the scale of its military was smaller compared to modern armies. Their campaigns were more localized, mostly within Mesoamerica, and they lacked large logistical networks for global operations.
- Modern militaries primarily focus on territorial control, political power, and defense or conquest of resources. Warfare today is often dictated by political, economic, and ideological goals rather than religious objectives.
- The Aztec military often engaged in **"flower wars"**, ritualized battles intended to capture prisoners for sacrifice rather than territorial expansion. War had religious and ceremonial purposes in addition to political control.
- Modern militaries use advanced technology, including firearms (rifles, machine guns), heavy artillery, tanks, aircraft, drones, and missiles. Combat is often carried out from long distances, with less emphasis on hand-to-hand fighting.
- The Aztecs relied on weapons like spears, wooden swords with obsidian blades, and bows and arrows. Their combat was hand-to-hand, and they used lightweight armor made from cotton.

In essence, the Aztec military and modern militaries share some common principles of discipline, rank, strategy, and symbolism. However, they differ vastly in terms of technology, scale, objectives, and ethical considerations, with modern warfare being far more complex and reliant on advanced technology and international laws.

Inforced Religion In Aztec Schools
More info!
After the Spanish conquest in the early 16th century, Aztec education systems gradually eroded as European education and religion were imposed on the population. Indigenous schools were either destroyed or replaced by Catholic missionary schools, which focused on Christian teachings and European customs.
When children at Aztec schools were particularly disruptive or did not understand the lesson, they would be physically punished.
About Strictness In Aztec Schools
Girls may receive an education at an Aztec school, but their options were extremely restricted (for instance, they could only study marriage or home economics or other home-based trades).
About Gender Segregation
More Info
As they grew up, Aztec boys received an education that ultimately prepared them for battle and service in the Aztec military. For instance, boys between the ages of ten and twenty were required to attend school. Boys of the lower classes attended schools called Telpochcalli.
