Access to formal education in Incan society was limited to children of the central nobility and certain levels of the [[Kuraka|curacal]] ({{Lang|qu|hatun}} curaca). They attended the {{Lang|qu|yachaywasi}} (house of knowledge) in Cusco to learn from the {{Lang|qu|[[amauta]]s}} (wises) and the {{Lang|qu|haravicus}} (poets). They learned languages, accounting, astronomy, about wars and political application strategies. The non-formalized education for the {{Lang|qu|hatun runas}} was given in daily life, in practice; it was also given in the assemblies of the ayllu or {{Lang|qu|camachico}}, where they were taught the three moral and legal principles: {{Lang|qu|ama quella}} (don't be lazy), {{Lang|qu|ama sua}} (don't steal) and {{Lang|qu|ama llulla}} (don't lie).<ref>{{Cite book |title=The Incas |url=https://archive.org/details/incas0000davi |url-access=registration |last=Davies |first=Nigel |publisher=[[University Press of Colorado]] |date=1995 |pages=103–104 |isbn=978-0-87081-360-3}}</ref>
