 society. In
this
 essay, I will give my own opinion on the reasons and causes of the shortage of
science
students
. There is no doubt that the number of
students
 choosing
science
 has decreased dramatically in recent years. There are many reasons for
this
. For one thing, many undergraduates found
science

subjects
 difficult and not attractive enough. For another,
science
subjects
 taught in the current educational program are so impractical that undergraduates cannot apply what they learn in

 situations. The most familiar example of
this
 is that Vietnamese

 have to learn a lot of unrealistic knowledge that cannot help them much in their work.
On the other hand
, many

. It is well known that the shortage of undergraduates learning

 extreme effects on society. As many

 found

 unattractive,

 can easily get bored of

. The

 workers in the future. Take Vietnam for an example, if
this
 situation keeps continuing, Vietnamese patients will have struggled with the decrease in the number of doctors in 50 years’ time. To address
this
 problem, the Vietnamese government has worked out many measures to attract more

 to choose to study

 at university. In a nutshell,
this
 problem must be tackled quickly. In conclusion, the decline in

 can

 terrible effects. Both governments and their citizens have to take action to address
this
 constructively.
