No one can deny the fact that a person’s education is the most important aspect of his or her life. Thanks to the developed science and technology today, increasing education tools and material fill our minds with the latest knowledge and information. Nowadays education can be obtained at any time and at any place. “Knowledge is power”, whatever you want to learn, just search it on Internet, which connected with famous universities in the world, know-it-all encyclopedia, and professors service in any institute.

In fact, it is now easier to become educated than in the past due to the dramatic change in modern society and progress in knowledge and technology over the recent decades.
To the contrary, education is hard to obtain in the past. According to the historical recording , human race experienced a pains-taking path to obtain knowledge. Not to mention the prehistory times, in the last century, only a few people who are well financed and born in noble can have the right to be educated. The birthright to be educated equally has not been realized until a few decades ago, especially to women, the poor, and the disabled. Moreover, the only way to impart knowledge is to preach it in the class by teachers. Even worse is the person who cannot afford to school has no means to self-educated, due to the pains-taking effort to earn his or her life and isolation to the knowledge in expensive books.
Although the path to the wisdom and knowledge has been paved by science and technology, it must be admitted that, shortage of funds is still the one of the biggest questions that students nowadays have to face because that tuition fees and prices of books are soaring by the day. Increasing number of students at campus still have to take part-time jobs during their school time or pay their loan after graduation, let alone the drop-outs who have to give up their degree because of shortage of funds. However, this is the inevitable path to let everyone have their right of education. The cost of education is decreasing by the day.
From what has been discussed above, the conclusion that people are now easier to become educated than in the past can be safely draw.
