What is the difference between medieval and renaissance education?

Answer 1

1st Answer:

There was no education in the middle ages. 90% of the people couldn't read or write. In the Renaissance the university system started and much of the schools, colleges, and degrees used today still come from this source. The tradition of the cap and gown also comes from this time. The Renaissance was a time of birth of knowledge and discovery. The middle ages was a time of darkness and lack of learning.

2nd Answer:

Renaissance education was not appreciably different from that of the Late Middle Ages.

The university system attributed by some to the Renaissance was a development of the High Middle Ages, with the first Western universities beginning in the 11th and 12th centuries. The University of Paris, Oxford University, and Cambridge University were all opened before end of the 12th century.

There is a link below to an article on medieval education. Unfortunately its history is not widely known, even if it is well documented.

Answer 2

Middle Ages there was no education for the people. The clergy were the only ones who could read and write. Some Nobility could as well, but 90% of the population couldn't. The lamp of learning was out.

Renaissance saw the start of people beginning to read and write. The printing press was invented and books became available to all. Universities grew and more people had access to an education rather than just a few. Our universities still follow the Renaissance model in how degrees are granted and how the schools are set up. This was a time of a "rebirth" of education.
