Churchmen were very well educated and literate. After they graduated from a university, they taught young boys who needed education or wanted to become churchmen. They lead prayers on church days and also prayed before eating with their families. Churchmen taught other boys about medical studies, mechanics, history, theology, and judicial studies for the upper class. The boys had to become churchmen because they were the ones who got the most and best education. For the lower class, becoming a churchman would be the only way they could rise in society. They did not have a high chance of becoming churchmen because they did not get enough education to maintain the kind of job a churchman needed to do. When teaching, they would stand on a podium, like a court room, and give lectures while the students took notes. They wore all black almost like the nuns did. Two teachers would be in charge of one room for the upper class. The lower classes would only have one teacher. |
