How Education Has Changed Over the Last Hundred Years

A hundred years ago, most classrooms looked very different from today. Students sat in rows, listened to lectures, and wrote on chalkboards. Books were rare, and many children could not attend school at all. Over time, governments made education free and compulsory in many countries. Technology brought radios, then televisions, and now computers into classrooms. Online learning appeared in the early 2000s and grew rapidly during the pandemic. Today, students can learn from anywhere in the world. Despite all these changes, the goal of education remains the same: to help people understand the world and build better lives for themselves and their communities.
