Some people think that government should invest more money in teaching science than other subjects in order for a country to develop and progress. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Education plays an important role in a

country

's development index.

While

there is a popular opinion that government should allocate a larger proportion of money to teaching science

subjects

in order to develop the

country

, others believe non-science fields are as important. I strongly believe that equal preferences should be given to all

subjects

, so a

country

can create more job opportunities, and can generate more revenue. Spending money on non-science-related

subjects

creates more jobs in the job market.

In other words

, when educational institutions start a variety of courses they attract many students to enrol in these programmes creating more employment opportunities for the lecturers and administrative staff.

For example

, a university with more courses will generate more income than a university with fewer programmes.

Moreover

, international students may join these colleges and contribute to the profits. Government giving equal preferences to all the

subjects

widen the earning capacity of a

country

. To explain

further

, non-science

subjects

such

as hospitality management, arts and culture, religious courses and management field can create more experts in a variety of fields.

For instance

,

while

religious studies and arts and culture can protect a

country

's heritage, tourism and hospitality management studies attract more tourists to the

country

by developing the tourism sector.

This

will contribute to a significant proportion of the foreign reserve of a government.

To conclude

,

although

the majority believe that the development of a nation depends on science streams, I strongly advocate that non-science streams play a vital role too by creating more vacancies and broadening the sources of income of a nation.
