答案
The debate about what to include in the curriculum and how much money should be spent on is non-ending and reaches as far back as history allows. Most educators would argue for a broad and balanced curriculum that includes the native language and at least one other, mathematics, science, the humanities and the arts as well as physical activity, at least for the duration of compulsory schooling. There is never enough money; there is always something more that could be included and decisions have to be made. Some subjects simply cost more, and science subjects are high on the list. If students are to be able to use laboratories and conduct experiments, the costs are considerable, so more investment is needed at school level. Undergraduate and postgraduate studies cost even more. Much of the progress and development in our world depends on science: health, food supplies, communications, building safety and transport to name a few. On the other hand, science is only useful if applied for the benefit of humankind, and in the thrust for progress it is vital that the role of humanities is acknowledged. Our history and culture makes us what we are. Cultural activities, such as music, art, dance and drama, all enrich our lives, and yet training people and encouraging creativity, which are also important, are also expensive. Musical instruments are expensive and training is time-consuming, for example. Science might need more money than other individual subjects if it is to be taught effectively, but a scientifically educated population with no humanity, no knowledge of its history, no moral standards, no culture nor cultural development will be a most unpleasant society. Governments must support a well-rounded, balanced education, encouraging and supporting science but not exclusively to the detriment of the rest of the curriculum.
