How did ancient people teach their children to study?
Did they have education system?
Adam, Abraham, Noah, Moses etc., did they send their children to school?
Did they teach their children how to speak and write?
As far as Adam was concerned, there would have been just his own children, and the question arises, if he sent them to school, who would be the teachers? We don't read in the bible of Adam, Noah and Moses sending children to school. I imagine parents would have taught their own children - this was certainly true as far as things about God were concerned. For example, God said to the Israelites:

“6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” (De 6:6-7 NKJV)
