The best curriculum is not one based on a static body of knowledge, but one which teaches students to cope with change. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In some perspectives, compared to fundamental

knowledge

, the acquisition of capacities to cope with change is more important. I disagree with

such

opinions since both aspects of teaching should be valued equally. On the one hand, fundamental

knowledge

, including mathematics, science, and biology, is essential for

students

to extend their studies based on it.

Such

as the capacity of calculation, which

to have a better understanding when they learn more sophisticated

subjects

, be it financial analysis in business fields or graphic design in construction areas.

For example

, in the UK, the government planning to make math classes one of the main

subjects

in schools until

students

are in ninth grade to ensure young individuals have better capacities for financial arrangements in the future.

On the other hand

, it is not enough for

students

nowadays to take only traditional education without gaining the capacity to tackle changes,

such

as the effects derived from the development of modern technologies.

Instead

of sticking to the

knowledge

in textbooks, courses should prepare

students

for the fast-changing workplace, where new work positions are spring-ups

while

many existing job opportunities may be replaced by high-end technologies.

For example

, the governments in Taiwan provide various

subjects

for young individuals to get familiar with different job positions in the real world, for them to convert the

knowledge

learned from courses into practical usages, including short internships in local businesses, and

subjects

for

students

to start a business on campus.

To conclude

, even though the fundamental

subjects

are crucial for young people to

with fundamental abilities, which help them to explore more possibilities in the future. The value of the courses providing

students

with practical

knowledge

to cope with change in modern societies should not be overlooked since it could increase the competitiveness of the younger generation in the real world.

Therefore

, I disagree that schools should only focus on teaching

students

to tackle change.
