The subjects and lesson contents are decided by the authorities such as the government. Some people argue thta teachers should make the choice. Do you agree or disagree?

The

government

has long been the decider of the school curriculum.

However

, an increasing number of people now claim that instructors should

also

be involved. Personally, I would agree that the majority of teaching materials should be designated by the authorities,

although

we should not deny the freedom of

teachers

to adjust the contents within an acceptable range. The standardization of core curriculum given by the

government

guarantees the equality of

education

and cultivates talents geared to the needs of the future society. If teenagers from state schools and elite private schools receive different contents in class

while

the admission assessments of higher

education

institutes are standardized, the resulting unequal opportunities to

further

studies will undoubtedly lead to public discontentment about social injustice. Another vital reason for educational uniformity lies in the fact that leaps towards future development formulated by the authorities require young talents with corresponding knowledge and qualities. Taking Chinese society as an example, the guidelines of the

government

clarify the need for innovative and persevering individuals with expertise in scientific fields

such

as electronic and aerospace engineering,

thus

students

mostly attend STEM courses during obligatory

education

.

On the other hand

, there exist certain cases in which the single

education

system fails to fulfil the potential of all

students

, and

this

is when

teachers

are supposed to tailor the lessons for

students

. For those who are physically or intellectually impaired, mentors are expected to offer additional help including more elaborate explanations, in the worst-case scenario, they can even lower the difficulty of the course in accordance with a student’s capability.

In addition

, with the help of online applications and videos,

teachers

can provide

students

with more diversified learning methods and experiences. In summary, it is the

government

that should shoulder the responsibility of setting the standard for the general curriculum, despite minor variations determined by

teachers

.
