Read the passage about traditional Japanese education. "During the Edo period in Japan (1603-1868), education was highly valued. While formal schooling was mainly for the samurai class and wealthy merchants, commoners also had access to 'terakoya' (temple schools). These schools taught reading, writing, and arithmetic using basic texts and abacuses. Discipline was strict, and students were expected to show great respect to their teachers. This widespread basic education contributed significantly to Japan's high literacy rates even before the modern era." What can be inferred about education for commoners in Edo period Japan?
A) Commoners had no access to education whatsoever.
