What is "eduba"

Edubba (also written e-duba, e-dubba, edubba, edubah, eduba'a, e-dub-ba-a; cuneiform ???????????????? [E-DUB-BA-A]) is the Sumerian term for "scribal school." The eduba was the institution that trained and educated young scribes in ancient Mesopotamia during the late third or early second millennium BCE. Most of the information known about edubas comes from cuneiform texts dating to the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1600 BCE).
