Priests had complete control over education. The Aztec empire was provided with special schools, the Calmecas, which trained boys and girls for official religious tasks. Schools for the least disciplined children were called telpuchcalli, or "youth houses," where they learned history, Aztec traditions, crafts, and religious norms.
The Aztecs recorded the most important events in books made of paper prepared with leaves of sisal. These books were rolled up like parchment or folded like maps. The Aztecs did not have an alphabet. They created a kind of logogriffin writing, using images and symbolic characters.
