Elizabethan Society: Education - Significance & Factors
Untitled Worksheet
Introduction to Elizabethan Education
During the Elizabethan era, education was influenced by various factors including political decisions, religious beliefs, social class distinctions, and economic resources. Education was primarily available to boys from wealthier families, with very limited access for girls and the poor. The church played a significant role in shaping educational content and access, while political stability and economic prosperity affected the development of schools and literacy rates.
Source A: Extract from a historian's analysis
'The rise of the grammar schools in Elizabethan England was largely driven by the desire of the monarchy to promote a literate bureaucracy and better-trained clergy. Religious motives also influenced the curriculum and the emphasis on Latin and religious studies.'
