Current and past education

From the beginning, people have received an education and have learned basic skills such as learn how to write or how to read. In the recent past, people used to go to school, later many of them went to secondary school and then, just a few ones received a higher education. In spite of that it was easily to find employment in whatever they wanted to work.

On the contrary, nowadays people have a more sound knowledge because of the plenty advantages we have: more public schools, all type of technologies and gadgets and libraries everywhere where we can find the range of subjects and some researches. Besides, we are able to get some aid from the government.

On the other hand, before there were more hard-working people than today. They had to study on their own to get a degree or a title. Even many people wanted to study but their parents couldn't  afford it because they didn't have any money or they denied their children going to school. Thus, they could help their parents in their offices.

As for current education, despite having a lot of aids, pupils don't often attend lectures and it is difficult for them to acquire a qualification. Today, it is considered easily to pass an exam than forty years ago. Also, teachers know more than ever and many of them don't know how to teach their students. Hence, this is one of the reasons why teenagers don't listen to the teachers, since sometimes they can become tedious.

For instance, people who studied sixty years ago got a religious and sexist education. Most women were allowed to study until they were 15 years old. They were educated as a housewife: they were taught to sew, to wash, to bring up their children and to cook. At school they received a basic education and, above all, they learned to pray.

Some of the differences between current and past education are: before people only learned the theory but not the practice. Also, teachers use books or notes. However, today's teachers almost always use a projector and make lessons more pleasant and student can show interest in them; Homework was very conmplicated and students can be hit by the teacher. Nowadays, pupils are always laughing at the teacher. Before, teachers had more rights than students and today students are over the teachers. It seems to be that students nowadays want to get the maximum marks without making a effort.

In brief, I couldn't say that current education is better than past education because every stage of life is different than the others. Nonetheless, it doesn't mean being better or worse. I find past education better in the aspect that people were more responsible even though teachers were harder. Current education could be better due to the advances and developments we have. Therefore, everything is constantly changing in life, even the education.
