In some countries, secondary schools aim to provide a general education across a range of subjects. In others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career. Which do you think is appropriate in today’s world?

There have been growing concerns about the range of educational
subjects
that
students
are required. Some people may have suggested that
students
should focus on specific
subjects
to prepare for their future careers.

I believe secondary schools should encourage
students
to learn a variety of
subjects
.
Firstly
, a general education across various
subjects
will be beneficial to
students
. Just imagine that the academic
subjects
that are related to a particular
career
such
as math and science,

students
to concentrate on memorising the complex formulas and scientific concepts. What I am concerned about is that
students
may lose their interest in studying, thereby having narrow perspectives on those
subjects
which only demand a studious atmosphere.
However
, if
students
are provided non-academic
classes
such
as art and music in general education, they might be able to broaden their perspectives and allow them to figure out various occupations.
Consequently
, I believe that having diverse
classes
in schools contributes to not only discovering talent but
also
expanding the path of their future
career
.
Nevertheless
, studying
career
-related
subjects
can assist
students
in focusing immensely on their specific
subjects
. In Korea,
for instance
, getting high performance in English is crucial for entering University
as well as
when getting a job.
Hence
, it is beneficial for
students
to spend most of their time preparing for English tests, which demand high standard levels rather than other
subjects
.
Moreover
,
students
can reduce stress by avoiding
classes
that they are not interested in.
For example
, if some
classes
like music or sports are mandatory in school,
students
who are not good at those
classes
will be overwhelmed and feel frustrated. In conclusion,
although
focusing on a narrow range of
subjects
related to a
career
can reduce strains on
students
, I believe that experiencing various
subjects
is essential because it provides a lot of different perspectives, which will contribute to

students
to find out their talent by giving them various opportunities.
