Some say that music, art and drama are as important as other school subjects, especially at the primary level. Do you agree or disagree?

The importance of schooling is undeniable. It decides what kinds of people we would be, what kind of job we will do and what kind of life we will lead.

Therefore

, what should or should not be taught at

school

is a heated topic. Some people believe that

subjects

like

music

,

art

and drama should be included in the education curriculum since they are the same essential as academic

subjects

, especially in primary

school

. In my opinion, I agree with

this

statement and my reason is below. The

first

advantage of

music

,

art

and drama class is that many young artistic talents can discover. When students join the

music

and

art

class in elementary

school

, they can learn about their potential and parents can have a plan to develop a future career for their children. Without participating in these activities, some artistic individuals might be denied the chance to achieve their full potential. In Vietnam,

for example

, the primary

school

must have

art

and

music

class. Every year, through artistic and

music

competitions at

school

, there is more than 50 young talent discovered and they are offered the opportunity to transfer to specialized

music

or

art

schools. Another compelling reason why non-academic

subjects

are as crucial as academic

subjects

is

that non-academic

develop essential attributes, which help students are more employable in the future. It could be said that the main objective of people who attend

school

is to get well-paid jobs after they finish.

Thus

, at the lowest level of education, many students are taught that they should focus on academic

subjects

that can be related to their careers.

However

, employers nowadays are more concerned about attributes like adaptability, creativity and soft skills. These qualities are developed by playing

music

, participating in team sports more than joining in academic lessons.

As a result

, these

subjects

play the important role in the student’s aim.

For instance

, according to the Vietnamese Social Journal, 60% of large corporations in Vietnam ask a high level of adaptability from their candidates as employees are required to travel and work at many different workplaces. In conclusion, non-academic

subjects

should be as vital as academic

subjects

at the elementary level because they allow to

talents and build attributes that are necessary for a future career.
