In some countries, secondary school aims to provide a general education across a range of subjects. In others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career. Which do you think is better?

In different countries, secondary schools provide different
subjects
 for their
students
. I think that secondary school provides a general education across a range of
subjects
 is better. If a student studies a range of
subjects
 at secondary schools, they could find their own direction in which they are really interested. It can achieve their potential, the
students
 can spend more time in areas of interest. The more time they spend, the more likely they are to become experts. Meanwhile, studying
courses
 in different directions can help
students
 acquire different
skills
,
such
 as for computer-related
courses
, the
students
 can get computer
skills
, and for English-related
courses
, the
students
 can obtain foreign language
skills
 and communication
skills
. The different
skills
 will help them when they graduate from society.
On the other hand
, it has some advantages if the
students
 only focus on some particular career.
First,
when they graduate from school, they may have more job opportunities. Because they are more proficient in a certain area, and current employers like recruiting people related to the field.
Therefore
, they can have a competitive edge in the job market.
Second,
it could make
students
 feel relaxed and happy in the learning process. The student only needs to study some special
courses
 and do related homework to increase the memory of knowledge points. The
students
 feel more relaxed and happy with less homework and they can have time to play computer games or do other entertainments to relax. In my view,
although
 studying a range of
subjects
 could encourage
students
’ imagination and creativity, learning about some particular career can
also
 increase the rate of employment and job opportunities.
