In many countries, fewer and fewer people go to universities to study science. What's the reason for this? What can be done to encourage people to learn science?

There are numerous different fields of study to choose from when applying to a university. The

science

major is one of the oldest and important academic disciplines and covers a wide variety of subjects.

However

, there has been a drop in the number of students that are interested in pursuing

science

. The decrease in the number of applicants is due to several reasons.

Firstly

is the heavy study load

that is

expected for a

science

student to handle. There will be many experiments and projects that will need to be done, and because of that, some students feel that they do not get enough time aside from school work to relax.

Secondly, is

the lack of job growth that relates to the

science

department. While it is possible to get a job with just a bachelor's degree,

science

students will need to pursue a master's degree to advance as the demand for an experienced-hire level scientist would be much greater than an entry-level one. There are a number of things that can be done to encourage more students to apply to a

science

major. The

first

is to build an interest in

science

for students by letting them do experiments.

This

experience can change their view about

science

being a boring subject to it being an exciting subject to learn

further

. The

second

solution is to show students that

science

can be applied to everyday life.

Such

as how the invention of cell phones, video games, computers is all because of

science

.

This

can spark curiosity and excitement for students to learn and potentially make something that could be as useful as smartphones are in everyday life today. In conclusion, the reason for the lack of students taking a

science

major is because of the heavy workload and the low job vacancy available on demand.

However

, there are several solutions to combat that, which is by building the interest in

science

from an early age so that more students will take a liking to

science

and possibly apply for a

science

major.
