The document discusses the education system during the Medieval period in Europe. It describes three main types of schools - song schools which taught singing, monastic schools connected to religion, and grammar schools which taught basic subjects like Latin, grammar, and logic. Monasticism played a large role where monasteries and monks were the main educators and helped preserve knowledge by copying manuscripts. Scholasticism developed using logic and debate to discuss religious topics rationally. The university system grew out of associations of teachers using methods like lectures, disputation, and applying Aristotle's logic.
