Best Answer

The Puritans valued education because they believed in the overall improvement of their society. Puritans although seen as prude or arrogant really did believe in establishing social education. with everyone in their society being educated they could all read (and enjoy) The Bible; since Puritans believed that God could speak to all of us and no just one designated person. this also led to many colleges being founded so that they could be educated men of God. since they saw themselves as the type of society that should be looked up to.
