Question

Answer 1

Do you mean WAS there education in the middle ages? lol How can we take you  seriously if you can't write the question correctly. And yes there were schools, but they obviously learned less because the world was not as advanced as today, and some of the things taught were later proven to be incorrect. Not to mention everything at the time was influenced by the church and you can bet they were taught the Earth was in the center of the universe as the church dictated.  

Answer 2

There is no barrier for education/learning. We all learn all through our life. What we learn during our childhood or at the young ages are normally being advised by our parents/teachers/own interests, but during middle age and in old age we mainly learn as per requirements/interests/choices.

Education is the way for all of us to go forward.

Answer 3

Rather than belittle the asker here, regardless of how the question was poised, I will attempt to answer the question as i think you were asking it.  I think you are asking was there a system of Education in the middle ages.  The answer is yes.  Here is an excerpt from thinkquest.org:

         "Monks taught school for boys where they learned to read and write Latin. Latin was very important because both the Bible and the Church services used that language.

           Bishops also taught schools called cathedral schools. Some of the cathedral schools, like the ones in Paris, became great learning centers, and universities. Many of the smartest men of the Middle Ages, such as Peter Abelard (1079-1142), and Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225?-74), were educated at Paris and also taught there.

           Students began learning with the seven liberal arts. The liberal arts consisted of Latin grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music. A person who showed that they knew the arts well enough became a Master of Arts, M.A. Students could choose to study either law, medicine, philosophy, or theology. Those who taught this type of education were known as doctors. Today some universities still offer the same degrees as the ones in the Middle Ages, yet like today, all people do not choose to get a degree.

          Not only did the church encourage learning, they also encouraged artists and builders to build some of the finest structures in the world and paint beautiful masterpieces . Many of the cathedrals still stand, representing Medieval Times.  During the Middle Ages, girls were not taught to read and write, unlike boys. There were a few organized schools for women in convents, but most all girls and women who learned to read received home schooling."  

       I'm not quite sure what you meant by the Geoffrey Chaucer question but here are some sources about the "Father of English Literature":

Good luck with your quest for knowlege, Keep asking questions and ignore those who belittle you.  The only stupid question is the one that remains unasked.  

  

Answer 4

In the Middle Ages most people were illiterate but not all. Upper class children were educated when they were pages. Among the poor the better educated priests might teach some children to read and write - a little. In many towns there were grammar schools where middle class boys were educated. (They got their name because they taught Latin grammar). Boys worked long hours in the grammar schools and discipline was severe. Boys were beaten with rods or birch twigs.

There were also chantry schools. Some men left money in their wills to pay for a priest to chant prayers for their soul after their death. When he was not praying the priest would educate local children.

During the Middle Ages literacy and learning gradually increased. By the 15th century perhaps a third of the population could read and write.

From the early 13th century England had two universities at Oxford and Cambridge. At them students learned seven subjects, grammar, rhetoric (the art of public speaking), logic, astronomy, arithmetic, music and geometry.

Western society and education were heavily shaped by Christianity, particularly the Roman Catholic Church. The Church operated parish, chapel, and monastery schools at the elementary level. Schools in monasteries and cathedrals offered secondary education. Much of the teaching in these schools was directed at learning Latin, the old Roman language used by the church in its ceremonies and teachings. The church provided some limited opportunities for the education of women in religious communities or convents. Convents had libraries and schools to help prepare nuns to follow the religious rules of their communities. Merchant and craft guilds also maintained some schools that provided basic education and training in specific crafts. Knights received training in military tactics and the code of chivalry.
