Some say that music, art and drama are as important as other school subjects, especially at the primary level. Do you agree or disagree?

Primary level in an education system is one of the vital stages, expecting a child to learn the basics of every subject. School subjects help in future to get a better job,

however

music and art are important too. In my perspective, I believe that all subjects are important at

this

level to develop a child as a skilled and a responsible citizen. On the one hand, schools and colleges add Mathematics, English, Science and Economy in their curriculum, considering the future job opportunities for an individual.

For example

, the person who will have the detailed knowledge in

such

subjects, will have a definite chance to get a well paid job. Parents are more concerned about

this

topic, they

also

want their children to learn

such

technical subjects rather than artistic subjects. It is

also

observed that, while recruiting new employees the companies put criteria of minimum grades in these subjects. Children are often pressurized to learn mathematics and science, and some studies show that

this

may lead to monotonous routine and potentially they may lose interest in their studies.

On the other hand

, studying artistic subjects is never encouraged. People often see those as an entertainment and expect few people, others will give them a low priority. Artistic subjects bring happiness and enthusiasm in life, because it is a food for the soul. A person who invests some time daily in extra-curricular activities seems to be more active and positive. Nowadays, we see a person can

also

build a strong career in

this

field and is able to earn a handsome salary. To conclude, I think that music, art and drama are equally important in everyone's life and of course, is essential at primary level in an education system.

This

will allow a child to choose a career of his/her choice and

also

will keep him or her mentally happy, healthy and balanced.
