Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of the curricular approach of scribal education as attested in the school tablets found in Susa. The school tablets from Susa are a case study for an education in a multicultural social context. The influence of the Mesopotamian school system on the scribal education in Susa seems to have been so significant that Elamite played almost no role in the scholastic context investigated here. The sequence of the stages of scribal education is clearly traceable, but the curricular material itself shows striking differences. It reveals that the Mesopotamian curriculum was not just blindly adopted but that it underwent a significant adjustment to fit the linguistic environment of Susa. The study of the educational corpus from Susa uncovered many, but not all features of the curriculum and process of scribal education at Susa. Keywords:educational corpus; Elamite; Mesopotamian curriculum; scribal education; Susa
