Yes, those who are not ordained monks or nuns have always had an important role in the community of Buddhists. As Buddhism spread from what is today India to other eastern countries and, in the 20th century, to the west, it adapted itself to different cultures. Today in the west, most Buddhists are not celibate monks or nuns. Communities of monks and nuns are usually supported by many practitioners outside those communities. Most people today who engage in Buddhist practices designed to minimize suffering are neither monks nor nuns. .

Never. It was not the role of monks anywhere in Europe to educate communities; it was the role of monks to remain isolated from communities and the world outside the monastery.

The Church as an institution also offered education to men wishing to become priests or other clerics within the Church hierarchy - it was this that led to the establishment of the first universities, aimed at educating potential recruits into the Church. Ordinary folk had very little education, mainly from their parish priest and at a very rudimentary level.
