In Plato’s theory of education in The Republic, education serves as a positive instrument of social righteousness and the realization of truth. Elementary education begins in early childhood (with the first sub-stage from birth to age six focusing on moral stories and character formation, followed by music, gymnastics, and military training up to age twenty), a first public selective test is conducted at the age of twenty, and a second selective test is held at the age of thirty to select future philosopher-rulers.
