Not enough students around the world choose to study science subjects at university. What are the reasons for this? What impact does this issue have on society? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

Students
are required to select a subject that they want to pursue during their freshman year. Recent statistics from different countries show that
students
who decide to select
science
subjects
are very few. Here in
this
essay, I will explain the main issues that contribute to
this
and their consequence on society. In many high ,schools the quality of teaching is very low when it comes to
science
-related
subjects
such
as mathematics and physics;
hence
, the reason
students
dislike and fear pursuing
science
-related
subjects
. High schools, for financial reasons, hire unqualified teachers who don’t have experience teaching
science
-related
subjects
; they hire teachers who have a degree in an unrelated field regardless of their experience with
science
subjects
. In consequence,
students
find
science
-related courses very hard to master and decide to switch to social
science
when they join college.
Additionally
, Jobs that involve
science
subjects
are very unstable. It evolves quite frequently in comparison to socially
science
-related Jobs,
hence
, asks for constant research and study of the subject.
Therefore
, there are
also
students
, who had a good background in mathematics and physics in high school, who change their direction when they join a college as they want a relatively stable job. The societal impact of
this
is very critical and requires urgent attention. The lack of scientists would leave society vulnerable to various problems
such
as disease and natural disasters that could be easily handled with scientific innovations.
For instance
, flu-like pandemics in the past used to kill large numbers of people as there were no scientific solutions and precautions taken, but now
due to
the advancements and innovations in
science
, the death toll has been reduced significantly as seen in the recent pandemic.
To sum up
, governments and educational institutions should work together on improving the high school teaching quality with regard to
science
and provide appealing bonuses to attract
students
to pursue
science
subjects
at college, which will help produce scientists that will innovate solutions and save society in times of difficulties.
