The government should reduce the budget on the arts and spend more funds on education. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people are of the opinion that the government should increase their

budget

for

education

and decrease it for entertainment. I partly agree and disagree with

this

statement. The following essay will outline the reasons why I feel that both academia and the arts are equally important and thereby should share an equal

budget

.

To begin

with,

education

is the key to developing a nation. The reason why I partly agree with their statement is because of the lack of importance the authorities usually give to the academia of the country.

For instance

, public schools in Bangladesh rarely take

children

out on field trips

or foreign visits or provide quality reading materials to their students. Despite teachers giving their best efforts to accommodate a good learning environment, they are incapable of doing

as a result

of low funding. The government certainly need to invest more in

children

through their

education

as the next leaders of the nation will be shaped by

education

, from the new generation.

On the other hand

, it would be unfair to argue that

education

is everything.

As a consequence

, I

also

partly disagree with

statement because art equals creativity and creativity is

important for

children

. Employers in a job interview

example, will often select the candidate with the most versatile qualities and experiences.

In other words

,

children

should be taught to think outside of academia by honing other skills should they want to be truly successful in life.

For

this

reason, I believe that different forms of entertainment

such

as movies, painting, theatre, extracurriculars etc will make the youth more meaningful creative and ready for the future.

Thus

, creative knowledge is as important, if not more, than theoretical knowledge.

To conclude

, there are merits and demerits to the claim that the government should lower their

budget

for arts and increase it for

education

instead

.

Although

,

this

may result in a better academic environment for the youth; it will severely impact their creativity skills. Rather, I recommend that the

budget

be distributed in equal portions for both subjects.
