  Inca education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inca education during the time of the Inca Empire was divided into two principal spheres: education for the upper classes and education for the general population.
Thus, education throughout the territories of the Incas was socially discriminatory, barring the rank and file from the formal education that royalty received.
The education of the common person was largely based on the knowledge transmitted by their elders, such as practical education in the aspects of agriculture, hunting, fishing, and stonework, as well as religion, arts and morality.

 String, and Knot, Theory of Inca Writing
f all the major Bronze Age civilizations, only the Inca of South America appeared to lack a written language, an exception embarrassing to anthropologists who habitually include writing as a defining attribute of a vibrant, complex culture deserving to be ranked a civilization.
The Inca left ample evidence of the other attributes: monumental architecture, technology, urbanization and political and social structures to mobilize people and resources.
Other Inca scholars generally agree that the khipu may have served as more than accounting devices or memory aids, and may have been a medium for recording historical information.
