  • Abstract:
  • The word Education originated from the Latin word 'Educare' which means to bring up. Literacy is a major part of modern Education. A person who has the skill of reading and writing is called literate. Historians found inscriptions in Sanskrit, Telugu and Prakrit in the town of Ellore. Inscriptions in Telugu from the 12th century show how the language changed over time. Ghatikas were learning centers for Hindus. Muslim mosques were great learning centers for Muslims. Mosque-affiliated madrasas taught religion. The presence of inscriptions dispersed across the city is evidence that members of that civilization were engaged in reading and writing.
