The government should lower the budget on the arts in order to allocate more to education. To what extent do you agree?

In

this

contemporary world, the arts are losing its importance, whereas faculties, namely science, technology and business are gaining immense popularity. For

such

reason, the

government

should allot more funds for educational facilities, rather than promoting the arts.

This

essay will highlight why granting finances to an artist is beneficial, but why providing capitals to escalate the literacy rate is more significant.

To begin

with, arts related fields are an essential aspect of a society, since it aids in acknowledging the culture and norms of a particular area.

This

helps the people to value the renowned personalities of the past and their sacrifice for the country, and

also

boosts the tourism industry,

hence

allocating the finances to

such

field is reliable and profitable. To illustrate, the Indian

government

provides around a million rupees to a museum in Mumbai each year for its maintenance, which is extremely popular among the local as well as the foreign masses.

Therefore

, allocating the capitals is crucial for the maintenance of the tradition and the value of a particular place,

however

, issues related to other field are more important than the arts.

Nevertheless

, an educated youth is the pillar of a nation, so the

government

has the responsibility to focus merely on

such

aspects

such

as education and health care, and must allot supplementary funds to those sectors rather than promoting the arts. Many people in a developing, or even a developed country still has a literacy rate below half percentage, so boosting

such

field will help the nation in several ways, by abating crime rates, poverty related issues, etc.

For instance

, a survey recently taken by the Malaysian Education Foundation stated that, in 2014, after the

government

provided a free education to the destitute students, 78% are now employed, and the economy of the country is

also

mounting steadily.

Thus

, more the people are enlightened, more developed the nation is. In conclusion, the

government

should grant funds to preserve the arts, but in a limited amount and

such

process should not hamper the progress of other fields.

However

, the discipline like education, health care and transportation require immediate action and should be invested more than other sectors.
