Education has evolved over the centuries. Teaching was monopolized by the men of religious authority, the clergy, the monks and the monasteries. Indeed, the church was against the promotion of knowledge and skills to a common citizen until the Reformation. Men of pen and writing skills, or free thinkers, were condemned to death, burnt alive at the stake, or simply locked away in dark abysmal dungeons.
