When was the first school of Egypt built?

There's no single definitive answer to when the "first school" of Egypt was built. The concept of "school" as we understand it today didn't exist in ancient Egypt. Education was largely informal, occurring within the family and through apprenticeships.

However, we can point to certain periods and institutions that represent early forms of organized education:

* Scribal schools: These existed from the Old Kingdom onward (circa 2686-2181 BCE). These weren't schools in the modern sense, but rather places where scribes were trained in reading, writing, and mathematics – essential skills for administration and record-keeping. These were more like apprenticeships with a master scribe. It's difficult to pinpoint a single "first" scribal school.

Therefore, rather than a specific date for a "first school," we can say that formalized education in Egypt, in its rudimentary form, began sometime during the Old Kingdom (before 2181 BCE), evolving through scribal schools and other forms of apprenticeship. Pinpointing a precise date is not possible due to the lack of definitive archaeological evidence marking the founding of a specific educational institution.
