Renaissance was a very important historical process that ushered in the modern times. It can therefore be accurately stated that modern education has its origins in this era. Historians use the term "Renaissance" to mean the rise of worldliness or secularism which started around AD 1320 to 1600. This cultural revival was a very gradual process, heavily influenced by forces that preceded it which ended up bringing about a gradual break with the medieval life and created a new world-view. The period of Renaissance put a lot of emphasis on man and his abilities, passion for learning and a stress on scholarly exactness. Man's faculty of reason was seen to be more important than faith.
