Basic nature: Consistent with the social nature of the Middle Ages, education in the Middle Ages had a very obvious feudal hierarchy.

Main features: The Middle Ages also had their own creations in culture and education, and many of them have been integrated into modern people's lives. Medieval universities are the direct origin of modern western universities.

In the first half of the Middle Ages, educational institutions were monopolized by the church, secular education was stifled, and schools were attached to the church. The purpose of education is to train monks and professionals who serve religion. At the same time, it also publicizes religion to the masses and cultivates religious piety. The education of monks and parishioners has become the main body of education. ?

Extended data:

The teaching content is mainly theology. Grammar, rhetoric, ethics, arithmetic, music, geometry, astronomy and other disciplines also run through the religious spirit. The teaching method is indoctrination, which requires students to memorize, believe it or not. School management pursues asceticism and suppresses students with cruel corporal punishment. The court schools controlled by feudal lords recruited the children of royalty and cultivated political science talents.

From the end of the 9th century to12nd century, feudal nobles attached importance to knight education to strengthen the armed forces for maintaining the feudal system. This kind of education has no special organization and does not attach importance to the education of cultural knowledge. It only sends the children of the lower nobility to the palaces of the upper nobility as waiters or attendants.
