Summary/Abstract: The importance and role of education has been talked about since ancient times. Plato was the first to show in his philosophy that only a properly educated and brought up person can organize society and the state on the principles of truth and justice. Aristotle, as well as Plato, advocates that the process of education and upbringing be under the strict supervision of the state, because only in this way can a mature personality be formed whose goal is to live in virtue, justice and a fair state system. Ancient philosophers believe that without correct, systematic education of the soul and body, there can be no development of the mental powers of man, knowledge and development of the civil state community, but also that this system must be under the watchful and strict supervision of the state. Plato's and Aristotle's theories of education have a great influence on the modern concept of education.
