Industrial Revolution
HOW DID EDUCATION CHANGE?
Picture

​Education changed during the Industrial revolution. In the beginning (before the    1800s) poor children couldn't afford the price to go the school, as school were not yet free in Britain, but then slowly school became compulsory, and poorer classed children could go to school, and many Acts and Unions took part in sponsoring of improving the schools in Britain. It changed the entire country because the country had more schooled children, and adults to work in better jobs and create better lives for the people in the next generation.

​HOW DID IT CHANGE SOCIETY?​

​It changed society because more people could be educated better and the entire country could be more advanced and develop more because the more the people are educated the cleverer the country and it's economy get. It also changed society because each person could now get a degree for Science or mathematics, since they were well educated at school. And problems like medicals issues could be fixed.

​​WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EDUCATION AFTER AND BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION?

​
​BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
  1. Almost all poor children had no education.
  2. Could not afford to go to school, because school wasn't free. 
  3. Majority of the population were poor, so the country was not as well educated since only the wealthy could afford schooling.
  4. Most poor children had the jobs in factories, instead of getting an education. 
  5. Many children and adults who had a less educated life didn't know how to read or write.

​​
​AFTER THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
  1. Schooling was an important part of life. 
  2. Nearly the entire country's children were well educated and the country was developing in power and strength. 
  3. Mechanics' Institute Night schools were offered for working men to earn their knowledge in education. 
  4. The country built many libraries so you could improve your learning.
  5. This contributed to the country's economy because if Britain had more educated people the entire country would thrive better.   ​
