LP while I'm still in search of Socrates and hsi role for modern education system, here what I found about the Examination system:

[QUOTE]
Ancient China was the first country in the world that implemented a nationwide standardized test, which was called the imperial examination. The main purpose of this examination was to select for able candidates for specific governmental positions. The imperial examination was established by the Sui Dynasty at 605 AD and was later abolished by the Qing Dynasty 1300 years later at 1905.

England had adopted this examination system in 1806 to select for specific candidates for positions in Her Majesty's Civil Service. This examination system was later applied to education and it started to influence other parts of the world as it became a prominent standard (e.g. regulations to prevent the markers from knowing the identity of candidates), of delivering standardized tests.

I think its Greek behind all this hassle, but lets see what LKK has to say about Babylon, which is no doubt one of the oldest civilisation in the world. Probably Mesopotamia (Babylon) were the first people, who learned how to write. Chinese were the inventors of paper.
