People have a myriad of views on whether

History

is still a significant subject in

school

.

Although

some people may think that practical subjects,

such

as

Science

and

Technology

, are vital to learning in

school

for better career development, I still believe that

due to

their use, it is crucial for

students

to learn

History

in

school

. Of the reasons why some people think that learning

Science

and

Technology

is more important, probably the most significant one is that

students

can have better monetary returns after studying related subjects.

This

is because most professional jobs are required

students

to have

such

practical knowledge, ranging from doctors, IT specialists, dentists and nurses. If

students

study

those

science

and

technology

courses, they can have the opportunity to develop to the professional careers path. A famous quote “Knowledge changes destiny“, represents how important to

study

subjects that can aid future careers. The

students

, especially those from the lower class, can have a chance to climb up the social ladder and better earnings. In

this

way,

students

who

study

those jobs can have a clear career path and chances to improve their living standards. Despite the above arguments, I believe that

History

still remains a valued subject of teaching in schools

due to

the learning of critical

skills

and organisation

skills

. When

students

study

History

, they need to read a vast of literature and

further

organise that information in turn to depict their ideas and stances. These are enhancing

students

’ organisational ability and critical thinking, which are not only

skills

for workplaces but

also

for communication in our daily life. Imagine that when you are in the role of management, despite your professional knowledge, you

also

need to have logical and well-organised

skills

to communicate with your colleagues, boss or even clients, these

skills

can be trained by studying

History

.

In addition

, learning

history

is crucial for us to have all-rounded development. Under

this

line of thinking,

although

studying

science

and

technology

may provide a chance to earn a better living, I still believe that studying

History

can train

students

in logical and critical

skills

,which all-rounded development is needed for them to survive in society.

Therefore

, the importance of

History

can not be surpassed by the

study

of

Technology

and

Science

in

school

.
