C. Schools began to provide education beyond religious instruction. As societies became more secular and education became more secular, the church's role in education shifted from being the primary educator to being one of many providers of education. Schools began to teach subjects beyond just religious instruction, and universities began to focus on secular fields of study as well. While some universities and schools still have religious affiliations and teachings, the role of the church in education has become more diverse and less dominant over time.
