Some people think secondary school pupils should study international news as one of their subjects. Other people say this is a waste of valuable school time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is quite evident that studying foreign and local
news
 has dramatically declined over the
last
 2 to 3 decades. A particular segment of society believes preparatory school students should study foreign
news
while
 others opine that it is a waste of time. I tend to believe that studying abroad
news
 as one of the disciplines in middle school is essential. Before presenting the final opinion, I would like to throw light on both points of view. The first and foremost reason is, studying global announcements increases our general knowledge.
Due to
 the hectic lifestyle of students, they do not aware of the global
news
.
For example
, if someone asks a student about a prime minister of a country, a natural disaster that happened
last
 night, and new trends most of the answers from the community are "don't know".
This
 implies a greater negative path that people travelling towards.
Secondly
,
this
 will help students to develop important skills
such
 as critical thinking, analysis and communication. These will lead them to live a successful and quality life. Sometimes
this
 may help to migrate to a country to live a standard life.
In contrast
, studying international
news
 may cause time waste since there are lots of subjects to study for youngsters. Among those adding foreign
news
 as a discipline may increase depression and frustration. In conclusion, learning abroad report in preparatory school increase the student's social knowledge and develops their important skills. On the other ,hand it is a waste of time.
