Government should invest more money in science education rather than other subjects to develop the country. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

People have different views on the subjects that the
government
should invest in and prioritize in order to achieve what is termed economic
development
. Some believe that a larger portion of
government
funds should be dedicated to teaching
science
-related. In my opinion,
although
science
plays a large role, other subjects hold merit in their own right in contributing to, and in driving, economic
progress
and
therefore
, deserve equal
government
investment
and funding. On the one hand, public funding in
science
education subjects is important in driving the
development
of a country in many areas,
such
as engineering and medicine.
For example
, developed countries
such
as Japan has emphasised the
science
education of their citizens.
This
strong focus has led to
science
learning, knowledge, and scientific research achievement, foster innovation and increases productivity, which directly contributes to the national economic growth of the nation.
Therefore
,
investment
in the teaching of
science
education is crucial for a country’s economic
progress
.
On the other hand
, the management of a nation
also
determines its state of
development
and economic
progress
. As
such
, it can be argued that curriculum subjects
such
as social sciences and law require as much attention and
investment
.
For example
, developing economies
such
as Indonesia and Cambodia have long experienced a history of political and social unrests and conflicts.
This
can largely be attributed to instability and poor management of legal, social and governmental systems.
This
is
in contrast
to their Asian counterparts
such
as Singapore and Korea, where well-established and stable civil law and political institutions can be observed. In conclusion, subjects related to the management of a nation’s economy,
such
as social sciences have as much impact and significance of the
development
and
progress
of one’s nation and deserve as much
government
investment
as
science
subjects.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
