One of the characteristics of medieval education is that the right to education is completely owned by the Roman Catholic church, and the state cannot grasp the right to education. An important proposition put forward by Lutherans in the religious reform is to put the church under state power to run education.

Luther believes that the primary purpose of education is religious, which is to make people believe in God and save their souls. Running a school is not only beneficial to the church, but also to the country. So they advocate:

① The state should attach importance to education and master the right to education; ② The state should promote universal compulsory education; ③ Pay attention to the development of all kinds of education; ④ Pay attention to the management of school education and teaching. This emphasizes the purpose of educating and serving the country.

Although the religious reform is the product of social reality change, its ideological source can be traced back to the religious "heresy" thought of medieval citizens. 1 1 and1After the rise of medieval cities in the 2nd century, in order to resist the plunder and control of feudal nobles and churches.

Cities support kingship economically and politically, and kingship gives cities the privilege of free trade and even autonomy. With the development of the city, the civil class gradually emerged, and they were extremely dissatisfied with the unified theocracy of the church and the rule of orthodox theology, so they brewed the anti-church civil "heresy" thought.
