In the past, girls weren't allowed to learn to read, and many students left school at the age of 12. Nowadays, girls are allowed to go to school, and boys and girls learn the same things. Also, the age of students is not limited to 18. We used to have a very different educational system than what we have now, and it has changed a lot over the years.
