Comment on the following: ‘Standards of education today are lower than in the past’ 1. A great deal has changed since our grandparents were at school. Firstly, teachers, who have a great effect on standards, are better trained than in the past. Secondly, schools have more money and better equipment. There is no doubt that standards of education have risen.

Paragraph 2 Being more understanding, teachers are able to help students more today. They are less strict, which means that students enjoy their education more and so learn more. In addition, teachers have more qualifications and are better educated than in the past.

Paragraph 3 Not only are teachers better educated, but they also work in better schools. Schools, generally, are managed better and have more money to spend on things such as books and computers. Some are able to provide music lessons and drama lessons. If schools offer students more opportunities to learn, it raises standards.

Paragraph 4 Summary In summary, there is no truth in the claim that standards of education are lower than in the past. Teachers and schools have both improved, which means that students today receive a better education than their grandparents did.

Write your opinion essay about the following topic: “ Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behaviour.” Give reasons for your answer an include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
