READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER At the start of the Middle Ages in Europe, there was no schools as we know them today. There were no grade schools or high schools. There were no universities where the young could learn professions such as law or medicine. The only schools were in churches or monasteries. Except for some priests and monks, few people could read or write. As time went on, many young people needed an education so they could learn a profession. In order to get an education, they had to be taught by teachers in a church school. Some of the clergy became known as great teachers. Wherever there was a great teacher, students gathered to live and study. Ten other teachers came to teach the subjects they knew best. A centre of learning was formed. Around A.D. 1100 a famous centre of learning grew up around the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France. A well-known teacher named Peter Abelard was there. Thousands of students came to Paris from all over Europe. Many teachers came too, and held classes of their own. Sometimes between 1150 and 1170, the teachers formed a group that was much like a guild or union. This group became the University of Paris. The University of Paris was one of the first universities. It had many teachers who taught different subjects, and it served as a model for other such schools. 1.
