If you walk into any educational institution in 2011, you're likely to find many changes from what would have existed in 1911 -- but to outline exactly what those differences are, the people at Misco created the 'Students Through the Ages' infographic.

Beginning with 50th-40th Century BC, the [illustrated chart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timelinecraft) notes the major changes in student life, from gender divisions and curriculum to [classroom technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eduba). From abacus to [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-educational-app), ways of learning have definitely evolved, but as the infographic suggests, there are still many similarities shared between curriculum then and now. Cavemen, for instance, studied music as a school subject, and were taught cooking and hunting skills -- like a 50th Century BC version of home economics!

Whether you're a parent, teacher, recent graduate, or a student yourself, 'Students Through the Ages' is one infographic definitely worth checking out.
