The government should allocate more funding to teaching sciences rather than other subjects for a country to develop and progress. To what extent do you agree?

Ever since the technological epoch took place, it is considered that the progression of any nation majorly relies on how many

science

-based resources a country has.

Hence

, a proposal of investing more capital on mainstream

subjects

than art

subjects

is put forwarded which in my perspective appears superficially attractive, though, in

such

pursuit, other

subjects

ought not to be overlooked. It is indubitable that by assimilating the knowledge of

science

any region would become self-sufficient. As scientific innovations contribute to progress in the field of medical

science

and even in space exploration, if a budget is allocated on providing

science

-related education, the prospect of a country’s development opens up. In long run, highly educated citizens would accelerate the growth by not only providing the services to the public but

also

by making discoveries. An example of

this

could be taken from the outbreak of covid-19 when developed Nations because of their advanced know-how of

science

became able to control the rage of

this

pandemic by innovating vaccines at the right time. Had developing Nations acquired

such

knowledge, their situation would not get worse.

Although

the above discussion makes it appealing to subsidize

science

subjects

relatively more than other

subjects

, the significance of art in the holistic development of the human mind cannot be neglected. Since, school curriculum, more often than not, supports rote learning, a major focus on academic

subjects

may halt psychological growth and may restrict learners to be creative and imaginative. An article of ‘The Hindus’,

for example

,

also

suggested that 8 out of 10

science

students lack creativity while encountering any real-life situation. Apart from

this

, inculcation of art and craft gives opportunity to the pupils to broaden their horizon before chasing their career, apparently giving birth to many singers, dancers and painters.

Therefore

, these should be

also

equally addressed in an educational setting. To conclude, it can be asserted that

instead

of providing higher financial support to mainstream

subjects

which no doubt is a prerequisite for a country’s development, equivalent importance needs to be given to other

subjects

so that individuals do not have to limit themselves to only one area.
