It is sometimes argued that secondary school students ought to be engaged in mandatory unpaid community service as part of their school curriculum. Whereas community service has a number of potential drawbacks, I believe, they are both outweighed and outnumbered by the benefits. This essay will examine the merits and demerits of this phenomenon followed by my personal point of view. On the one hand, compulsory community service in high schools has a number of potential drawbacks; chief among them, diminishing the students’ chance of admission into competitive colleges and universities owing to the fact that it would lead to consuming a considerable portion of the students’ time resulting in a drastic decline in their academic performance. As a consequence, there would be a substantial decrease in their competitiveness and the likelihood to receive admission by the universities of their choice. This has been evidenced by a recent study conducted by the University of Toront concluding that the schools that have subjected the students to obligatory community service have seen their students grades and university admission rate fall by 20% and 25% respectively. On the other hand however, mandatory community service in high schools has numerous undeniable benefits the most important of which are enhanced academic performance and better career opportunities. This is due to the fact that serving the community results in a substantial increase in the students’ interaction with the society contributing to a significant growth in their social intelligence and skill level. Consequently, they will be more proficient, experienced and competitive and therefore will have a considerably higher chance of success in their future careers which will in turn benefit not only themselves but also the society as a whole. Based on a recent survey by the Toronto District School Board, the schools that have adopted this policy over the past decade report a noticeable rise/boost in the students’ performance level particularly in social studies. In conclusion, while incorporating unpaid community service into the schools’ mandatory curriculum has several potential demerits such as consuming the students’ time and possibly affecting their grades, these disadvantages are undeniably eclipsed by the merits including higher levels of social intelligence as well as increased likelihood of success in their future careers.
