Taken from Sulgi’s Hymn:
e-dub-ba : The School for Children. Ta. il tubbu (. Ta. potiyil?)
13. tur-ra-mu-de e-dub-ba-a-a-am (Sumerian)...
Since my (very) youth I belonged to the edubba (English translation)
Ta. tur-ra mutee il tubbaia aa aam (Archaic Tamil, Romanised)
துர்-அ முதே இல் துப்பைய ஆ ஆம் (Archaic Tamil)
The school system as well the Academies( Sangkam) etc are institutions that are contributions of SumeruTamils. There cannot be any civilization without these institutions now. Neither the Greeks nor the Egyptians had schools for children! With this information, when you look at a Tamil school or for that matter any school now, you can see what a wonder it is and who started it!
