I think students (demographically) have changed as well as the conditions they operate in. As you've pointed out, even attending a higher ed is much more common. There are not only more students, but also more students from different backgrounds. Motivationally there is likely similarity to how they have always been, but the challenge of training a student population of increasing size and diversity remains.

"...as well as the conditions they operate in."

I'm in no doubt that's true. I'd only add that I'm glad I went through the education system when I did even though it wasn't perfect.
