For several years, there was ongoing debate about the pros and cons of compulsary course verses elective course.From my own opinion and experience,I think elective course is better than mandatory courses.
To start with, the elective course helps students to effectively plan for their career.They can choose the field which is applicable for their dream job.The benefit of this is that it provides good opportunity to students for exploring their talents and interests related to their field.Therefore They can get in-depth knowledge on particular field and learn about the requirements of their career.This leads students to get their desirable job easier.
I want to illustrate this point with my brother's experience.From his young age,he only liked to learn biology and he chose to study biology in his middle and high school.He gained in-depth knowledges all about biology and he was qualified for the medical university without any difficulties as compared to other peers.
Moreover, the most effective way that students feel like studying more is self-motivation.
It is fact of life that students do not feel like studying with their unfavorable subjects.They do not feel any interest and will not concerntrate.Therefore studying unfavorable subjects is waste of a time.However if students study the subject what they like,it will boost the interests and concerntrations on studying.This provides more effective education for the students.The research on education shows that students with favorable subjects show more enthusiasm and aptitude more than others.
To sum up, referred to above opinions,I firmly affirm that the elective course provides more desirable and effective studying atmosphere than mandatory curriculum.The schools should let students decide which subject they want to study.This will brighten the futures of many students. |
