Was education better in the past or present?

In the past, education was centred around life skills which were necessary to thrive socially and not mandatory for all.

Now education focuses on concepts and information which may or may not be useful in life, yet are still mandatory. In addition to this, many aspects of school have now been standardised so that all public schools must follow the same curriculm and few private schools exist, whereas in the past, most schools were private. So which is better?
