Not enough students around the world choose to study science subjects at university. What are the reasons for this? What impact does this issue have on society? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience. Write at least 250 words.

It has recently been found that not enough

students

are leaning toward

science

subjects compared to other majors. There are several reasons for

this

issue that will be put forward in the following paragraphs

as well as

an analysis of the effect

this

lack of scientists has on society. First. the ongoing downward trend in employment markets for

science

majors is one reason that fewer and fewer

students

would like to major in

science

. In developed and developing countries these days most young people study because they want a well-paid job in the future so they can enjoy a good lifestyle.

However

, many prefer not to specialise in scientific areas since it is becoming increasingly difficult to find employment.

Furthermore

. there is the issue of rising costs of laboratory equipment and facilities, particularly in developing countries where these commodities are usually imported.

Although

governments could subsidize these cost increases, they are passed on to

science

students

through higher tuition fees.

Students

.

As a consequence

, they prefer to study subjects like business administration or law. As fewer

students

major in

science

, there might be a problem in the next few years in societies which lack experts in major scientific fields

such

as biotechnology, robotics and even computer

science

. In my country,

for example

, there has been a significant drop in student applications in these majors over the

last

five years.

As a result

, fewer professionals in these areas will enter the work market over the next decade, there will be less research and it will be difficult for the country to advance in terms of scientific research and technological development. In conclusion, fewer

students

have been majoring in

science

owing to high unemployment rates and increased tuition fees. In turn,

this

will lead to a lack of scientific experts to help stimulate technological progress and

thus

economic growth in many countries.
