Universities see a lower enrolment rate for the
science
 subjects from across the world. The problem can be justified by two main reasons – fear of mathematics and fewer job opportunities. The field of
science
 and mathematics are complementary to each other. One cannot study a
science
 subject without a mathematical aptitude. Students all over the globe, fear numbers and mathematical concepts from a very tender age.
This
 happens because there are a minuscule percentage of educators who understand numbers and are able to pass it on to the
next
 generation. In most of the countries across the world, students are forced to memorize tables and formulae
instead
 of understanding and deriving them. Adding to the dilemma of the students is the outdated
university
 courses which leave the students poorly skilled for the job market.
For example
, when I graduated from
university
 after completing my Bachelor’s in Chemistry, maximum of the job opportunities available to me was that of becoming a teacher in high school. The impact of
this
 disparity is that we see a very less number of students pursuing
science
 as researchers or scientists. The society has lesser people with the scientific temperament who can lead to newer innovations and inventions.
This
 in turn affects the overall development of the human evolution. In conclusion, fear of numbers and poorly designed
university
 courses are discouraging the number of students to pursue
science
 at the
university
 level and take it up as a career.
This
 is hampering the rate of technological advancement of the humankind.
