Some people say History is one of the most important school subjects . Other people think that, in today's world , subjects like science and technology are more important than history. Discuss both views and give your opinion .
Many individuals opine that studying History is more significant than subjects like science and technology in contemporary times.

Sports are an integral activity to shape your mental and physical health. Education on these physical activities in schools should be an essential subject and not a choice for students.
