Did William Shakespeare receive an education?

William Shakespeare most likely received a grammar school education in his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. Grammar schools at the time focused on teaching Latin grammar and literature along with other basic subjects such as reading, writing, and arithmetic. However, since there are no surviving school records from Stratford during Shakespeare's time, there is some uncertainty about the specific details of his education.
