People have different views as to whether subjects such as Science and Technology should be given more importance than History. Despite the fact that there are benefits of students focusing more on Science and Technology, I firmly believe that they should spend an equal amount of time on History.

On the one hand, there are two main reasons why schools should emphasize on Science and Technology. Firstly, there has been a rise in the demand for scientists in the job market, especially by healthcare companies which require a team of scientists to work on medications, vaccines, and new treatments. In doing so, this can help solve the increasing unemployment rate caused by a mismatch between education and the labour market which leads to many unemployed school graduates. Secondly, a large number of scientists and technologists will likely lead to technological and scientific breakthroughs like autonomous driving and genetic engineering. Because of the development in technology, the lives of many people will be made easier.

On the other hand, I would argue that schools should regard History as one of the most crucial subjects. First and foremost, many of us are able to avoid making the same mistakes because of the knowledge of history that is passed on from previous generations. For instance, by learning about the First and Second World War, all of us will always be reminded that any war will only end in death and destruction. Furthermore, studying history can provide us with a thorough understanding of the origin of our own cultures as well as cultures of other countries which we might be less familiar. In doing so, there will be not be a loss of national identity and national pride among the younger generation and our cross-cultural awareness will be increased.

In conclusion, although it seems that Science and Technology should be encouraged more by schools, I am convinced that History be equally valued.
