SummaryThe growth of education in England is largely associated with the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the rule of the Tudor monarchy. Although there are many factors which contributed to the advancement of education, it was the policies of church and state that had the greatest impact. It is also important to note that the growth of education was an inevitably slow process for England; advancements were followed by setbacks and so on. The Reformation in England brought the rise of a Protestant society bent on procuring Protestant religion among the masses. During this same time, more and more interest was also given to the institution of education.
