majors. In the following paragraphs, the
causes
and effects of
this
issue will be outlined in detail. The
lack
of
science
students
is caused by many reasons. For the first reason, there are more fields of knowledge that allow
students
to study in deeper detail than before.
For example
, in the field of arts, there are many new branches that just appeared in the present age,
such
as graphic designing and multimedia.
As a result
, there are more
students
who want to study intensively in other branches causing fewer
students
to choose a major in
science
. Another reason is that

subject is hard in the view of most
students
. One example is that electrical engineering, which is one of the applied
science
subjects, is very complicated since

Therefore
, most high school
students
do not choose these majors
due to
their complexity.
This
problem
causes
many negative effects on our society.
Firstly
, the

will
lack
labourers who have skills in

,
such
as engineers or doctors, which cause serious problems in the
country
.
For example
, Thailand does have not enough doctors in the health system, which
causes
a very high doctor workload and
then
doctors cannot take care of all of their patients. Another effect is that the
