Detailed explanation-1: -Shakespeare’s education is a matter of speculation because no school records have ever been found, but it is likely that he attended the local grammar school, King’s New School, which emphasized a liberal arts education.
Detailed explanation-2: -There is no record of Shakespeare going to University. Only a few of Shakespeare’s contemporary playwrights attended University, including Christopher Marlowe who was at Cambridge.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although boys normally attended grammar school until age 15 or 16, Shakespeare may have been forced to leave school as early as 1577, at age 13, because of his father’s financial difficulties. There is no record of Shakespeare attending university.
Detailed explanation-4: -William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, in April 1564. The exact date of his birth is not recorded, but it is most often celebrated around the world on 23 April. Shakespeare’s baptism is recorded in the Parish Register at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon on Wednesday 26 April 1564.
