The Renaissance period saw a revival in learning and education, with the rise of universities and the expansion of curriculum to include subjects such as science, art, and literature. The printing press also played a significant role in making books more accessible, leading to increased literacy rates across Europe. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Industrial Revolution brought about major changes in education, with the establishment of public schools and compulsory education laws in countries such as Great Britain and the United States. The focus shifted towards providing education for all children, regardless of social class or background.
