Some people say History is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that, in today’s world, subjects like Science and Technology are more important than History. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Whether

university

students

should

study

subjects

of their choice, or should they be obliged to

study

career-oriented technology and science major

subjects

is a widely debated issue. Both of these views have arguments for and against them and

this

essay demonstrates these views and expresses my opinion before drawing a reasonable conclusion. On the one hand, a

university

is the highest education in a

country

, and it is considered that it builds the next generation who would lead the

country

. In

this

regard, the education and teaching

policy

of the

university

affects the whole nation. Some experts are of the opinion that

students

at the

university

level should be given a certain freedom to pick majors they like to

study

and there should not be any predefined syllabus. They opine that forcing them to

study

some latest

subjects

for future employment would make them become workers for offices, not leaders for the

country

. They

also

express that letting them

study

a wide range of

subjects

would make them far more knowledgeable and prepared to take challenges and

this

policy

would inspire tertiary-level

students

to follow their dream and not just blindly run for their careers.

Furthermore

, society needs as many artists as scientists. Forcing

university

students

to

study

only science and tech-related

subjects

would create an imbalance in our society.

On the contrary

, the

university

authority must consider the consequences of letting

students

choose their

subjects

. A recent

study

shows that a predefined syllabus bounds a student to

study

regularly and prepare for the exam

while

the freedom to take any subject dramatically increases the number of dropout

students

.

This

is an alarming issue, and

this

is why the

university

authority needs to think twice before implementing the

policy

.

Furthermore

, the development of a nation, these days, highly depends on a technologically sound workforce, and universities should yield

such

a workforce for the

country

. From

this

perspective, it seems quite logical for universities to teach science-related

subjects

to most of their

students

.

To conclude

, universities have to consider the pros and cons of any

policy

adopted including whether the

students

are free to pick their

subjects

or not. Personally, I believe that letting

university

students

prefer their

subjects

has far more benefits and seems more logical in a broader sense.
