Some people think the government should decide which subject students should study at university, while others think students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays there is an ongoing debate among a few people that whether the higher authorities or the

pupils

should decide to opt for the course of their

study

in their higher education. I strongly believe that the legislators are the best decision-makers for the benefit of the students.

This

essay will discuss both sides of the argument and I will support my view with examples. On one hand, lawmakers are best at finding out the demand of a particular

subject

through their cabinet ministers. They can be better at finding out the Job prospects for the

future

for various disciplines of studies.

Moreover

, they can create a balance between Demand and Supply in the coming

future

years.

This

opportunity can be leveraged with the help of higher education providers by making their course curricula

according to

the need of the nation in the

future

.

For Instance

, if a country wants to open more opportunities in the science and technology field

then

they can make more subjects

such

as robotics, Aeronautical science and other scientific subjects compulsory for the

pupils

to

study

.

In other words

, the government may be able to create a

future

task force

according to

the needs of a nation in a specific area.

On the other hand

, letting

pupils

opt for the

subject

which they find interesting can give freedom to

study

the

subject

passionately.

However

,

this

can lead to

pupils

choosing a

subject

which does not have bright job prospects in the

future

.

As a result

, they might find the

subject

interesting to

study

but they may not be able to build a career around it.

For example

, in a recent survey by the Times ,newspaper the forecast for Journalism jobs in the next 10 years would be declining because of the oversupply of people that are working in the sector in India.

This

can create unemployment for that pupil in the

future

. In conclusion,

although

giving the pupil the freedom to opt for the

subject

in his higher studies may make them

study

it passionately ,

however

, I strongly believe that

this

can create unemployment by choosing the wrong field of

study

and the government are better positioned to create job prospects in the

future

by deciding which course a student should

study

in their university.
