"Every school you see - public or private, religious or secular - is a visible reminder of the religion of Jesus Christ.  So is every college and university." 
Dr. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe document in their "What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?" book that the phenomenon of education for the masses has its roots in Christianity. 

The pursuit of the knowledge of God in a systematic, philosophical and in-depth way gave rise to the phenomenon of universities all around the world.  It was the Christian faith that gave rise to the idea of higher learning.
