Education was important for several reasons, and both had to do with religion. The Puritans were extremely religious, and they wanted their children to be able to read and understand The Bible. Also, education was important to prepare Puritan men for becoming Christian ministers, a very important job in a society where religion was such a dominant factor. And if children were to be taught how to read and write, that meant there needed to be good teachers, so education was important in order to train the next generation of teachers.
