Schools are spending more time teaching subjects such as history. Some people think they should rather spend more time in teaching skills that can help students find a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

More
time
is allocated in the studying of courses like
history
in many institutions. Some believe that most of
this
should be used teaching students skills that can help them in the future to find a job. I completely disagree,
however
, and will explain why I feel subjects like
history
are relevant and should continue in these schools' syllabus.
Firstly
, it teaches about what happened many centuries ago and helps us not to forget the heroes that made those years a success.
This
course sheds light on the innovative minds of our ancestors and their innovations that paved a way to modernisation.
For instance
, we learn about the works of Michael
Farade
the English physicist and chemist who discovered electromagnetic induction (1791-1867)
Faraday
in the field of electricity and the modern light bulb. How he tried and

however
, on the one thousandth
time
, it became a success.
Thus
, helps to teach the future and present generations the benefits of

and the rewards of sticking to your goals.
That is
why spending
time
on
Suggestion
in
history
is important.
Secondly
,
this
points out where humanity failed. How we made mistakes in the past and their consequences. Some were minor and the others were major.
For example
,
history
has shown the constant desire of humans to kill one another,
this
specifically happened during the world war one and two.
However
big or small these errors made were, they had their lessons. It has taught us to avoid these events and to propagate peace and tranquility with
eachother
Suggestion
each other
and has
also
made it easy for the human race to learn to keep away from all acts of war.
This
is why
history
's relevance in the curriculum cannot be overemphasized. In conclusion,
as a result
of the advantages of giving more
time
to the teaching and learning of
history
in classrooms, I strongly feel that their
time
allocation should not be reduced. With more
time
for the subject, students get to learn to make wiser and healthier decisions in all pursuits.
