The number of students who choose to study mathematics at university is low. Why do you think this is? What can be done about this situation?

It has been observed that high

schools

graduates are not very interested in studying

mathematics

at the tertiary level. I believe exploring the causes of

this

problem can assist in finding suitable solutions to help resolve it. The old-fashioned way

mathematics

is taught in

schools

could account for a lack of desire to study

this

subject

at university. Many

schools

, unfortunately, follow dull methods and

therefore

,

maths

has become a dry and tedious

subject

.

Consequently

, high school students do not pick

this

subject

as their university major. If the educational authorities designed a contemporary and intriguing way of learning

mathematics

, pupils would be interested more in studying

this

subject

.

For example

, using new applications close to real life could be a remedy.

As a result

, students would be curious about practical uses of

mathematics

and opt to study it

further

at university. The reason why

maths

has become less interesting among pupils is due to the fact that

exams

are really gruelling.

Hence

, they have lost their interest during the time spent at school.

For instance

, my friend was good at

maths

but because of the harsh

exams

and low marks, she did not choose

this

subject

for

further

study. One effective way to resolve

this

difficulty is to reassess the

exams

' measures. If

schools

designed standard and simple questions for

maths

exams

, the students could pass them with high marks, and they would be more enthusiastic and feel successful and self-confident. In conclusion, the educational authorities and

schools

could solve

this

problem by launching more contemporary and trendy programs and reassessing the

exams

.
