Step-by-step explanation:

Plato believed in a strong state-controlled education for both men and women. He was of the opinion that every citizen must be compulsorily trained to fit into any particular class, viz., ruling, fighting or the producing class. Education, however, must be imparted to all in the early stages without any discrimination.
