Band 5

Some people think that subjects like arts, music, drama and creative writing contribute more towards a child's overall development. The school curriculum should provide more time for these subjects to be taught if the school wants all-round development of children. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

Since the establishment of schools, creative subjects have been implemented to the curricula in order to give young minds all-round growth. Many believe currently there is not much
