Nowadays, there are diverse subjects in school curriculum. Thus, students have been taught all subjects which are more than 10 subjects. However, it can be argued that education system should be changed. As a result, teaching only academic subjects, such as mathematics, science, etc, is more beneficial than learning whole curriculum. Nevertheless, in my opinion, I strongly believe that all subjects are an essential part of the school curriculum because of abundant benefits.
First of all, physical and creative education, for example, art, music, should be ceased or removed in several reasons. One of the main reasons is requirements of jobs. These days, every job requires competent people who have specific skills in their own occupation. According to this trend, students concentrate on only academic studies to prepare for going to university. Another is that it spends large amount of money on providing students with all subjects. Schools should be supported much money for not only school facilities but also a lot of capable teachers are hired to teach art, music, sport. In particular, the government grants funds for keeping school facilities, such as gymnasium and equipments for physical education, and teacher’s salary in public schools. A further reason is that it is too much subjects for students to learn more than 10 subjects. Accordingly, they have to be taught main subjects; mathematics, science, etc because lots of subjects cause lots of exams which force students to do hard work. That is not helpful for them in school.
On the other hand, there are a number of merits of all areas of subjects. Above all, students could discover their hidden potential through a variety of activities. Creative and physical education encourage them to find their interests and talents. Besides, if these things are abolished in school, it affects our society to reduce important human resources that have special talents because our society demands scientist, teachers and doctors as well as artists and athletes. Second is that students need to acquire basic social skills. For instance, they can develop imagination in art class and learn teamwork and how to cooperate with people in physical education. Although people who have great scholastic abilities are required in many jobs, our society requires creative and sociable people. Lastly, these subjects; art, music and sport improve the health of mind and body. Students learn about how to keep the health in physical activities, furthermore, imagine and express their ideas in art or music class. It relieves stress in hard work of the school and increase efficiency of studies.
In conclusion, despite of the factor higher academic performance is necessary, creative and physical education are also a vital role of school syllabus. I confirm that students have to be taught equal education, academic and non-academic subjects rather than inclined only academic subjects. |
