Compare and contrast education now and 50 years ago

Education has undergone some changes in the last 50 years. It may not

be what we expected, but in unexpected ways, many things have become

different, but few things remain.

Transportation and lunch catering services are examples of distinctions.

Schools did not provide transportation because they were built one to two

miles from where the students lived, and that distance was deemed close

enough for walking. Students were also not served lunch at the schools.

Unlike today, when schools provide lunch for students, every student had to

bring their food and water from home.

Aside from the differences, the two eras share some similarities.

Schools today generally maintain the same structure as in previous decades,

with students following a set schedule, beginning, ending, and shifting classes

simultaneously. Furthermore, graduates persist in earning higher wages than

those without a good education because they have opportunities to develop

their skills and cognitive development.

In conclusion, the changes in education over the last 50 years or so

appear to be making things easier for students. At the same time, students get

more job opportunities and higher salaries compared to those without

education.
