After it was announced that a new high school may be built in my community, there is continuous debate amoung residents. I think a new high school can provide beneficial effects to our community. There are many reasons why I think so, and here I present some significant ones.
First of all, a new high school can increase the quality of education of our village. The quality of education is directly related to the ratio of the number of students to the number of teachers. This means if more teachers take care of less students,the students can recieve more attention from teachers. Because our community is not growing fast and is in static state in the term of size, I do not think the number of student will increase. Therefore, if one more high school exists in our community, it can take some of the students from other schools and this, in turn, reduces the number of students in other schools. Also, a new school will have new and better facility and equipments. The quality of education is not totally dependent on the quality of facilities, but it is true that they provide better environment for students to study. For example, students can learn better about science if they can do experiments in a well-equipped science classroom.
Moreover, a new high school can help the local economy. During construction of school buildings, some people will be employed and local people have more possibility to get a job. Besides, a school has to hire teachers and some people who administer the stuff of the school. Again, local people can have chances for those positions. In addition, graduates can have more opportunites to get a better job because the graduates can have better capacities based on the higher level of education provided by more schools.
To conclude, I firmly believe a new high school is beneficial to our community since it can elevate the quality of education and it can be helpful to the local economy. |
