Many students have to study subjects which they do not like. Some people think this is a complete waste of time. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In today's competitive world, a broad

to succeed in any field.
Therefore
, I disagree that it is a waste of time if
students
study
subjects
which are not of their interest. Let us first examine the reasons why some people hold the opinion that
students
should not have to
study
all the
subjects
and should be allowed to choose the
subjects
they want to
study
. They opine that in

the

. In addition, if
students
are forced to
study
all
subjects
, they can easily lose interest in education. What is more, if all
subjects
are compulsory for studying,
students
will not have enough time to earn all of them properly;
therefore
, they will be constantly under a lot of pressure.
However
, I believe all
subjects
are of great importance and for the holistic development of the
students
they need to

. Later on, upon admission to the colleges,

the student may not know what his real interests are.
Furthermore
, nowadays, the job market is very demanding and the recruiters select
students
who are skilled in various fields. Having the basic
knowledge
of varied
subjects
during
school
time definitely widens the horizons for the
students
. To add to it, it is a well-known fact that most
subjects
are related to each other in some way or the other.
For example
, a basic
knowledge
of mathematics is needed to excel in computer languages.
Finally
, I believe that it is up to the teachers to develop the interest of the
students
in any subject.
For instance
, during my
school
days, my history teacher was so good that a monotonous and repetitive subject like history was the
favorite

students
should learn all

as they are not mature enough to know their real interests at

and a broad

also
needed for their holistic development.
