(Close to) universal education in some countries is my guess for the biggest change in recent centuries, but that probably arose out of liberalism and/or humanism.

Kinda, while it was definitely a factor it also has roots in Prussian militarism. The education as we know it is about a hundred years old, with general education being a decent bit older.
