It depends on country and culture. In ancient Israel, they taught about The Bible as part of their tasks. In other cultures, they were a professional class that wrote down laws, history and the deeds of kings or copied earlier writings. Or whose members simply were a 'pen for hire' for anyone who had a message to send and couldn't write. These scribes did teach, namely the art of writing to a younger generation of professional scribes or to well-off citizens who could afford to have someone teach them.
