Governments should spend money to encourage the development of sport and art for school students rather than supporting professional sports and art performances for the public. Do you agree or disagree?

The

and

has always been criticized by people. Some argue that the budget should be allocated to promoting these subjects

of funding them in a way that these activities become more accessible by the public. I am inclined to spend the money in moderation, because

otherwise

the future of arts and

sport

is likely to be jeopardized. It is vital for governments to sponsor athletes and artists to preserve the popularity of

art

and sports among people. To illustrate, performing

art

, which can be in terms of concerts, dramas or cinema films, requires a considerable amount of money. If

government

the government

does not invest in artists, they ought to raise funds for their activities by increasing the prices of the tickets.

As a result

of becoming

unaffordable

, fewer people will be eager to watch performances. The case is more or less similar for the professional sports. The earning capacity of the athletes mainly depends on the rewards;

, they must attend competitions to rival their peers to win awards.

Such

attendances require financial resources to cover the costs,

otherwise

they will be deprived of joining national, let alone international competitions. Once there is no audience for the

art

performances, and no financial resources for joining

sport

competitions, the artists and

sport

players are urged to abandon their profession. These repercussions are likely to eliminate the need for investments in educating students.

In other words

, these two areas are tightly related to each other.

In addition

, as the individuals' passion for

art

and

sport

forms during the early ages of their life, the schools play a crucial role in cultivating these skills, which demonstrates the importance of governmental expenditure on the extracurricular activities at schools. To conclude, allocating a larger portion of budget to

either

not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied

other

schools or the public is likely to have adverse effects on the popularity of arts and sports.

That is

to say, governments should reach a balance to be capable of developing these activities in society.
