Which term describes vocational schools for children of crafts guild members?

• A. Burgher schools
• B. Islam
• C. Renaissance
• D. Guild schools

Answer: (D)

In medieval education, specialized institutions tied to professional groups trained future workers. The term for schools that served the children of crafts guild members is guild schools. These schools provided practical instruction in the crafts, helping youngsters progress from apprentice toward journeyman and, eventually, mastery, while the guilds ensured quality and continuity of the trade. This role is distinct from burgher schools, which were associated with urban merchants and civic education; Islam is a religion, and Renaissance refers to a historical period notable for cultural revival, not a type of school.
