Some people believe unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes( for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Certain individuals think
community
services should be free and mandatory part of secondary school
courses such
as working for a charity, developing the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger ones. I strongly agree as this
will help them gain knowledge in different aspects and instil good motive of rendering service
.
To begin
, students
should be given the opportunity to learn how to be of help to people
around them as this
will improve their knowledge and ability to do different types of work that can benefit their society. Also
, this
can be done by the school
administrators by creating a time in the student's timetable for assisting their neighbours in things that will improve their environment to be conducive for living and working for charities will be helpful in enhancing their skills. For example
, according to
a research study by Williams James states that 86% of students
in the USA are able to know more about their society in ways they can be of help and develop their skills with the subject called ' community
service
' that was made compulsory in their studies.
Furthermore
, another reason for learning community
service
in school
as a course is to build the interests of students
as they grow to assist people
without expecting anything in return or money. Therefore
, there will be a great improvement in the world as people
learn how they can help their communities and the effects it will have on the people
in building good interpersonal relationships making all countries live in peace and harmony. For instance
, the educational board in Nigeria has been able to help in the development of the country by making community
service
a compulsory course for students
in secondary school
.
In conclusion, students
in secondary schools should be allowed to learn about free community
service
as this
will develop their knowledge and skills and also
make them have an interest in assisting people
in their society.Submitted by oludayotemilade on
