Christianity has played a significant role in shaping Western educational systems by establishing schools, universities, and educational programs with a focus on moral and intellectual development. This influence can be seen historically in the establishment of institutions such as the early monastic schools, cathedral schools, and later universities like Oxford and Cambridge. The emphasis on teaching skills and knowledge alongside Christian values has helped shape the foundations of education in the Western world.
Scripture: Proverbs 9:10 – “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
