Best Answer

Formal education did not exist in the Greek world except for military training.

In most city-states women had no formal education - their place was in the home managing it and bearing and raising children, kept in virtual purdah.

Sparta was unique, with women having a degree of freedom and equality. Their education was carried out by their family, not formally.
