There is a lot of pressure on young people today to succeed academically. As a result, some people believe that non-academic subjects, such as physical education and cookery, should be removed from the school syllabus so that children can concentrate on academic work. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

Over the years, as the rate of literacy rises across the globe,

this

phenomenon has resulted in terms of added pressure mounting for adolescents to do well in their studies so as to succeed when they graduate.

This

has caused a handful of people to carry an opinion that schools should eliminate non-academic

subjects

like physical education and culinary

classes

so that

students

will be able to focus on their essential academic topics

instead

. In

this

essay, I will delve into both sides of the coin and provide an explanation as to why I disagree with

this

statement.

To begin

, in the current climate of the job market, it is important to excel in school. With that piece of qualification, there is no doubt that opportunities will come knocking on your door. As

such

, by eliminating the non-essential

subjects

, more time could be used to focus on a more complicated subject which requires more practice

for example

mathematics and physics. Learning could be optimised and will

also

allow teachers more time to aid weaker

students

.

For example

, it is reported

by

Change preposition

apply

show examples

that in Sweden, they only have a few

subjects

for the

students

to focus on, so as to streamline the time taken to prepare for their examinations.

This

has resulted in a hundred passing rate in all their examinations and

students

are all employed even before graduation.

Although

, with the above being said, as important as essential

subjects

to be, in a holistic point of view, schools

also

have the duty to relay messages

as well as

knowledge to their

students

about physical wellbeing through physical education and dietary wellbeing by means of culinary

classes

.

This

will allow learners to

also

learn about what they doing and putting into their bodies.

Also

,

this

will allow

students

to discover their passion outside of just regurgitating information the entire day.

Students

who dislike studying will have the opportunity to find an alternate path of their own through these lessons as well. In an example from Norway,

students

are introduced to a myriad of

classes

for instance

gardening, for

students

gain a better perspective of life outside of study. In conclusion,

although

it is important to excel at school, I disagree with the statement that removing less essential

subjects

from their curriculum as there are

also

things to learn for learners holistically.

Classes

like physical education will instil the importance of keeping healthy and as we all know, health is the greatest wealth.
