Nowadays, not enough students choose science subjects at university in many countries. Why is this? What effects does this have on society?

In

this

contemporary epoch, it has been noticed that not adequate pupils choose

science

as their

subject

in colleges in numerous nations. In

not preferring

in college. The primary reason for

this

is high fees. It is undeniably true that

science

as a

subject

entails laboratory-based study.

Furthermore

, it contains practical and on-site assignments. Now, all

comes at an astronomical fee.

fee structure is not seen in other subjects.

Hence

refrain from taking

as a

.

In addition

to

this

perceived value of the

subject

is

also

one of the important reasons for

this

. What I mean by

this

is that

science

as a

subject

, for ages, has been told to us as a hard skill to master upon.

This

has demotivated

students

to choose

this

subject

as they fear not clearing it.

For example

, when I cleared my board exam, I did not clear it with good grades.

Hence

, my parents forced me to take commerce as they were told

science

is going to be hard for me with

such

low grades. The effects of

this

have been and will continue to be very serious. The most obvious impact of

this

is the lack of scientific inventions. It is an irrefutable fact that if

students

would not study

science

, they won’t be able to know the length and breadth of the latest scientific inventions happening around them.

This

will decelerate the country’s success in the area of

science

and innovation. Another possible effect of

this

is an increase in unemployment. To be more precise if

students

start choosing other subjects

instead

of

science

, faculty teaching

science

would be of no use.

Hence

, they would be asked to give up on their employment.

For example

, in 2019, Xavier’s College in India gave the pink slips to all the

science

professors as they were not seeing any admissions in that

subject

.

To conclude

, high fees and hearing

science

as a hard

subject

for years clearly stand out as the primary reasons for pupils not opting for

science

as a

subject

in universities. The effects of it which happen to be negligible scientific inventions and unemployment need to be carefully considered and watchfully monitored for its ill effects to be kept under check.
