It was observed that in some countries not enough students are choosing to study science subjects at universities . What are the causes ? What effects does this have on society

In

this

contemporary era, numerous countries have been suffering from a shortage in the

number

of

science

subjects

learners. The main reasons behind

this

phenomenon are the high tuition fees,

as well as

, the process of obtaining a degree in a

science

field is a quite lengthy process.

However

,

this

dilemma will lead to dire consequences because society will suffer from a sharp reduction in the appropriate provided

services

. To embark on, several

years

are required to complete and obtain a bachelor's degree in any

science

subjects

.

In other words

, the majority of

science

subjects

such

as dentistry, engineering, and medical analysis schools need at least six

years

to complete the undergraduate

years

.

As a result

, many young individuals favour securing their future and engaging in the labour market earlier;

thus

, numerous young students prefer to study other

subjects

instead

of

science

subjects

that may waste their time.

In addition

to that the high tuition fee

that is

needed to study

science

majors is another considerable factor that can put financial burdens on some families who will eventually send their minors to study another field .

For instance

, in Iraq, the approximate cost of one year in a dentistry school is about ten thousand dollars which cannot be afforded by many families.

As a consequence

, the gradual reduction in the

number

of learners of

science

subjects

could lead to dire consequences in the foreseeable future. To illustrate, the continuous decline in the

number

of some

science

majors

such

as medicine and dentistry means that in the short-term future, the average of healthcare workers and the provided health

services

will diminish in direct proportion .

Moreover

, the percentage of

population

is rapidly increasing which means that a huge proportion of patients will be deprived of appropriate medical

services

as a direct result of

this

shortage.

This

can be exemplified by a survey conducted by NHS in the United Kingdom which revealed that there is around one dentist for every five hundred patients;

therefore

, patients have to wait for months to receive their appropriate dental treatment. In conclusion,

after

this

essay has reiterated the above-mentioned points, it can be assumed that studying

science

majors takes several

years

to complete and

this

is the main culprit behind the severe decline in the proportion of students in these fields.

This

issue will negatively affect society which may witness a serious drop in the

number

of given

services

.
