Craft Education in Egypt in The Late Roman Period (284:641A. D)

Craft education was one of the types of education that existed in the late Roman period (284:641) in Egypt, and it was allowed for all, and since obtaining permission from the Guilds was a condition for practicing any work, citizens enrolled their sons or masters by enrolling their slaves in workshops with craftsmen for training in a craft. The contracts of craft training should include specific conditions of the training period and the financial compensation that the trainee will receive if he progresses in training, and also the contract should include the responsibility of feeding and clothing the trainee. Hence, the training contracts were a certificate of enrollment of students in technical and vocational education, and after completing the training period, the trainee could practice the work with a teacher or separately. Training contracts appeared in the Roman era explicitly, while they appeared less in the late Roman era under the same name. Therefore, we find a lot of professional training that we deduce from papyrus documents, which may be a letter from one person to another or a second papyrus with the receipt of a sum of money in advance. Training also differed in the late Roman era, especially after the spread of Christianity, especially in agreeing on the official holidays to be granted to the trainee.
