In this day and age, most children enjoy the right to receive education but it is not within their power to decide
what subjects they will study. This has led to a controversial issue that whether school should teach all the
subjects evenly or concentrate on teaching only a few selected subjects relating to a certain sphere of career.
Personally speaking, I endorses the second one as it builds a solid foundation for tertiary education and helps
students to develop with their true passionateness.
From my point of view, giving students the right to study only a narrow range of subjects but related to a
particular career is synonymous with create a window of opportunities for them to be nurtured in
specialized knowledge and skill supporting for their future career because in the era of overloaded
information, concentrating on a few subjects would be a rational learning choice. One reason behind this is
it will be really hard for students to solve and soak all the subjects’s knowledge at the same time. Many
students struggling in a battle against time trying to complete their homework and some of them have to
face the risk of depression and stress at a young age, then, by the time, consequently the quality of
education on the whole will go downhill despite of all the students’s and teachers’s efforts.
On the other hand, there are still some benefits of teaching a wide range of subject at school. Especially
when they’re still too young and haven’t decided what is their passionateness, hence, they should be given
chances to experience as many different subjects as possible in order to find out their interest one. Take
Germany, for example students in this country only have to study evenly a wide range of subject until grade
five and then they are allowed to study whatever they want as long as that is their interest or their strong
suit. Besides, according to the survey data, 70% of the toppers in all universities in India had studied only a
particular range of subjects related to their discipline when they were still secondary students.
In short, weighing up both side of this issue, I reckon that secondary syllabus content should be narrowed down in
order to support students on focusing to their future career preparation.
