Schools began using pencils in the late 16th century, with the first modern pencils being made in the 19th century. The introduction of graphite as a writing material in the 1500s led to the development of the wooden pencil we know today. By the 1800s, pencils became widely adopted in educational settings due to their convenience and ease of use.
