Bài viết mẫuThe modern society has various needs and requires the work of some specialists in some fields in order to keep society running. Some have therefore named some of these fields so essential that they suggest that the government should fund students in such courses. However, I believe such an educational policy, would come with more cons than pros.
First and foremost, such a programme would call for masses choking the system in order to benefit from such an attractive offer. The modern world may have made a lot of advancement but economic wellbeing cannot be described as its forte. Many people struggle financially and will most definitely grasp at straw to avoid drowning. It would not be surprising, therefore, if the government finds itself struggling to pay for a higher number of people than it bargained for. For instance, while in high school, a scholarship was put in place for cocoa farmers' wards who pursued General Science as a course in the secondary level. Many farmers coerced their wards to pursue this course in order to benefit from this offer. Unfortunately, this scholarship had to be withdrawn as too many people rushed for the limited funding available. This could be the story of the government in a few years to come, should they follow through with this policy.
Moreover, a shortage of people in the supposedly 'relatively irrelevant' courses is expected. Most of these courses, if not all, bear more importance than we associate with them. What society deems 'relevant' is only so because society made it so, as every single person in any tertiary institution aims at serving the country in one way or the other. This mindset of one course being more important than the other does nothing but invalidate the dreams of some young people such that they may drop the goal of working in a particular field in order to remain 'relevant' to society. Consequently, the seemingly less relevant fields would have few specialists and people seeking products from these sectors will have no one to look to.
One may argue that this policy of funding students who study relevant subjects would be a generous hand held out for the needy who have the talent for these courses. However, this seemingly benevolent policy will wreak more havoc than the good it is meant to achieve, as proven above.
