In some countries, secondary schools aim to provide a general education with a range of subjects. In others, it has a narrow range of specific subjects so students can focus on their future career. What system is more appropriate in today’s world.

In many countries, secondary education system intends to implement a general

curriculum

which includes a variety of subjects while in other countries, schools have a

curriculum

narrowed which is carrier-oriented. In my opinion, a wider

range

of subjects is more suitable and important in modern world.

First

of all, a wide

range

of

curriculum

comes with some benefits. The great advantage of a general

curriculum

is that children can learn a variety of subjects from which they benefit in their future careers.

For example

, teaching arts or music improves students’ creativity, and develop decision-making skills and these skills are fundamental requirements of a satisfactory job.

In other words

, unless arts and music are taught at schools, students would suffer the lack of creativity and would not become good decision makers in the future as adults.

Therefore

, a wider

range

of subjects plays an important role in improving their practical skills.

Secondly

, broaden curricula helps children to choose a right path. How can it help them in

this

context? A broad

range

of

curriculum

provides them with insights about which field is suitable for them as a career choice.

For instance

, a student, who exposes to a broaden

curriculum

in school, realizes if he or she shows more interest in social sciences or STEM, and

this

awareness is entirely important for a successful career. In conclusion, it is a debatable issue whether the curricula are career-oriented or not. In my opinion, a broaden

curriculum

is useful for students so that they can improve their practical skills

such

as creativity and decision-making, and choose the most appropriate career path after getting mixed subjects.
