[shc_shortcode class=”shc_mybox”]What young people should study at school has long been the subject of intense debate and
this is a question that certainly does not have one correct answer.

We need to provide young people the best possible chance of doing well at school. In
traditional curriculum there is a wide variety of subjects with a mix of academic and non-
academic subjects. In this way a young person is formed with a rounded education. Non-
academic subjects would include sports, cooking, and music. I believe this is the best form of
education. A young person should learn things other than academic subjects. Sport is
particularly important. Young people have to learn to love sport so that they can be fit and
healthy later in life. If not we will be raising an obese and unfit generation.

I totally understand the point of view that education is so important that students must be
pushed as hard as possible to achieve their best. It sounds a good idea to only expose the
students to academic subjects as then they can spend all of their school hours on studying
areas that will get them into university and good jobs later in life. I just feel a more rounded
education would produce a better individual. We must remember too that a lot of people,
maybe even most people, aren‛t academically minded and would benefit more from a more
vocationally based education. Forcing academic studies onto them would lead to failure and
the student leaving school too early.

Therefore I agree that although a wholly academic curriculum would suit and benefit some
young people, I believe that for most students non-academic subjects are important
inclusions still in today‛s syllabuses.
