Best Answer

The Jews maintained a high level of literacy during the Middle Ages, and had their own schools, with the goal being universal education. These schools were informally constituted, and were more like home schooling than state run schools of today. The European Jewish community made great contributions in philosophy during the Middle Ages, probably out of proportion to any other group of people.
