Extended data
Organized education in Britain began at the same time as the spread of Christianity. Two branches of Christianity, the Celtic Church and the Roman Church, were introduced into Britain from the north and the south. In 563 AD, Columbus, a priest of the Celtic Church, came to Scotland from Ireland, built a temple on Iona Island and spread Christianity. Later, it gradually moved south to England, where monasteries not only trained new converts, but also conducted general education.
In 597, St. Augustine came to Kent in southern England from the European continent and built a cathedral in Canterbury to educate new converts and train priests. Religion and education are the work of the church and inseparable. These two sects of Christianity finally merged into the Roman Sect. From the 6th century to 1000 of the Reformation, the church monopolized English education.
Except for apprenticeships and aristocratic education, all organized education is provided by the church. The appointment of teachers and principals must be approved by the bishop himself or his appointed agent.
