Some people believe that secondary school children should study international news as a subject. Others say that this is wasting time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is a constant debate about what children should be taught at
school
.Some people believe that secondary
school
 is the right age for children to gain extra knowledge by introducing overseas news as a new subject,
however
Add a comma
,however
show examples
 some oppose
this
 statement and consider it as a waste of time.In my ,opinion students should be aware of the happenings around the globe but must not feel pressurised to know it all. I shall scrutinise both viewpoints before coming to any conclusion.
To begin
 with, many parents believe that at a certain age their offspring should acquire knowledge about the happenings across the globe which will enhance their skill set and keeps them updated with any new
information
 that comes the way that will prepare them in case they have to face them in coming future.
For example
, due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 in 2020, it was informed that the virus is less effective if hand sanitisers are used at frequent intervals,
such
information
 created awareness around the world and people started using sanitisers to keep them safe and without any ,doubt progress was seen and
this
 came out as a piece of helpful
information
 for people.
Secondly
,if a student wishes to pursue their career in another country after high
school
 having knowledge about the current affairs and other regulations of the country creates a clear picture before out-Immigration.
On the other hand
, there are some parents who think that it is not necessary for their kids to know about another country as they already have enough on their plate to study in secondary
school
.
This
 will only add pressure which may affect scores for academic subjects and decrease the overall performance of a student. In conclusion, it is important to have
information
 about overseas activities but one must not feel to be under pressure to have to know about everything.In my opinion, announcing a few news articles would be sufficient for a student to know global activities.
