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.

Monks certainly offered education, but only to boys or men entering the monastery and seeking to join the monastic community. 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.
