Some people say history is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that, in today’s world, subjects like science and technology are more important than history. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Primary education has always played a major role in building the foundation of knowledge. Students study various subjects to enhance their understanding about different areas of life.

History

is one of them, which provides us knowledge about our past. Some people believe that

history

must be taught in the primary schools, whereas, other think that the priority should be given to the subjects like Science and Technology. I will discuss about both the views in my essay. On one hand,

this

subject

is essential to learn about the evolution of societies and causes of change.

Moreover

, we

also

get to know about different cultures and dynasties prevalent worldwide.

History

compiles real life stories which

further

motivate many people. It

also

educates us about the causes of sufferings we had in the past.

This

knowledge can help us avoid those mistakes in the

future

. We generally believe that one must not dwell on the past rather should focus on the present and

future

. But the roots of the present and

future

are always linked to the past.

Hence

, we cannot ignore the importance of knowing about the past to create a better

future

. Certainly,

history

is beneficial to mankind.

Nevertheless

, the absence of its practical applications in today’s contemporary world has affected its popularity. Cramming dates and years of the past incidents kills the creativity of the learner. Today’s generation is focusing more on technological innovations for

future

developments. For that reason, subjects like

history

do not fit into the current education system.

In addition

, teachers use conventional methodology to teach

History

.

Consequently

, the

subject

becomes boring and less participative. To conclude, students often question the relevance of having a

history

class in the schools. But they do not understand the intensity of change

this

subject

can bring to our lives. Every

subject

has its relevance and contribution in our lives. Even though, in the age of robots, it is essential to study science based subjects, in my opinion, the information about our culture and origin is equally important.
