Some people say that history is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that subjects like science and technology are more important.
Discuss both views and give your personal opinion.
Opinions are divided as to whether school curriculum should place utmost importance on the delivery of history or science and technology. While the former can be helpful in cultivating cultural awareness and drawing lessons from the past, I firmly believe that most of the historical concepts are obsolete for modern age, which is why schools should incorporate more contemporary subjects for the sake of students’ future career.
One legitimate point in favor of placing history at the center of school curricula would be its role in maintaining cultural values. Little do so-called modernists know that learning history provides us with ancestral links, bringing our forefathers’ lifestyles within our grasp. Not only can this serve to enlarge young minds’ outlook by allowing to explore beyond the current age, but it may also illuminate many traditional concepts and local values. For example, the idea behind many traditional festivals, say, Nowruz in Uzbekistan dates back to bygone eras and one needs to have a grasp of history to be able to conserve rituals associated with it. Furthermore, the exposure to past mistakes may help the young to learn from them and avoid similar misconducts in the long run.
Others, however, advocate for the delivery of science and technology, stating that these subjects are more relevant to the modern world. They claim that the top priority for any school should be to prepare young children for a competitive job market through teaching them necessary and relevant qualities and skills. Despite the availability of certain jobs for historians in today’s world, most of them are underpaid and fail to promise long-term employment prospects. By contrast, those with adequate qualifications in science and technology are in demand by many organizations, given the automation of many domains.
Having considered both sides, I lean towards those who prioritize science and technology over history. This is firstly because cultural values are better learned from the elderly in a family as traditions are often passed from generation to generation. Similarly, due to the fast-paced development of today’s world, past mistakes fail to bear resemblance to the present ones by any stretch of imagination. That’s, learning about the factors behind the Second World War cannot help us avoid another identical calamity as governments, their policies and world structure are now fundamentally different to those decades ago.
To conclude, it is true that we can learn about our ancestors and their mistakes from history classes. Nevertheless, my stand gravitates towards science and technology.
