  3. What Were Schools For? • Mainly ran by the church • Only exceptions were cathedral schools and later universities • Main purpose was to educate merchants, clergy, and the wealthy • Most learned by copying books which also preserved the knowledge of the past (Bennett Judith & Hollister C, 2006)

Who Were The Learners? • The clergy, the wealthy, and the noble attended schools • The students were young and would finish school around the age of 14 or 15 • They would then either go to work or attend universities which didn't’t start forming until the 11th century • Almost never allowed females to attend schools unless extremely powerful (Bennett Judith & Hollister C, 2006)

What Was The Role of The Teachers? • Teachers were usually elder members of the monastery or great thinkers of the time at the university level • Teaching was conducted by the teacher at the head of the class instructing the students • Most of the learning was done through the copying of texts • Most schools had a single teacher (Bennett Judith & Hollister C, 2006)
