In medieval Europe, religion was tied in with the heads of state. They had a mandate from God to rule, so that those who rebelled against them were in effect making a blasphemous act as well as a treasonous one. Also, Much ( if not all) learninig was focused in the church. If you wanted to get you child to learn to read, you would get a monk or a priest to do it for you (if you could afford it, otherwise have him become a monk himself). Nowadays, learning is not under the purview of the Church, or any church, but rather in the hands of the secular community. And the heads of state are not appointed their by God, but rather by the people (some exceptions: sultans or modern kings may still claim the mandate of God. The sultan of Brunei, the Grand Ayatollah of Iran, and the monarchs of England are some examples I can think of.)
