Governments differ in prioritising economic policies implementation to keep abreast with dynamic development trends. In light of this notion, some economies give preference to channeling more funding towards teaching sciences over other subjects. However, a field of study like information technology in particular can never be an exception to receive a similar treatment as far as promoting economic development is concerned.
There is a continuous debate on the proposition that a government should spend funds on science subjects extensively rather than on the other subjects. In my opinion, the former argument is not a viable option to everyone as many countries have a different economic backgrounds.
Science is seen as a very significant subject in schools as compared to the past .some people think that government should have to give more funds to teaching science rathan than other subjects such as (geography , history and mathematics ). In deed, i am a beliver that all the subjects has equal proportion for developing a country.
It is thought that the development of a country can be boosted if the emphasis was on teaching sciences and offering more financial support. I believe that this would offer opportunities in scientific research and development fields, and the country’s technological industry would flourish in different ways.
Education is essential for developing the countries. It is argued that sciences course has the biggest impact in the development of the countries compared to other classes (such as economics, geography, and literature), so the government should invest more budgets in teaching sciences rather than the others. In my point of view, this statement is not necessarily correct because I believe every subject has the same contribution to the nation.
I pray that your health springs forth speedily in Jesus Name.You are a rare gem.
Thank you.
I think you r doing a great job. Thank you a mam🙂🙂🙂🙂
I’m glad the lessons are useful 🙂
Government should need to provide more budget for the studies of science subjects as compare to other subjects because science and technology
With the boom of technology and science as a cornerstone of the development of a society, lately people have become more attracted to the idea of more money allocated to the science studies. However, should the government give more priority to science in a society in which human and environmental sciences are becoming more relevant to the world necessities?
It is a widely held belief that enhancing the grants towards technology will boost the economy of the nation. This essay disagrees with this statement because focusing too much on one specific area will not aid in overall development, also too much attention on scientific methods may lead to loss of cultural values of a nation.
The importance of the government allocate more funds to teaching sciences that was debatable, has now become more controversial. the substantial influence of the topic has sparked the controversy over the potential impact on the corresponding subjects in the recent years. It can be agreed that teaching staff of science should get more money from education department has equivocal aspect associated with it which based on the perception of the subject. However, this essay will elaborate how providing much salary to science teacher and how to develop country will up coming children and thus will lead to a logical conclusion.
As for now, the governance should still assigned the highest budget more specifically in promoting modern science than other teaching courses. I believe in my faith that from the past era which until now that modern science escalates the advancement of civilization for the betterment of the future of the people. And as you can see, most of the countries are still relying for what the science can do in the society we live in. But however, in my point of view, some teaching in sciences particulary the Big Bag theory and Evolution of mankind which was written in a book have no such strong evidences or proof that these are really true.

The governmental authorities ought to subsidise the subject of teaching science in order for the country to receive a straightforward development and well being.Therefore the generous amount of funds has to be used to refresh the education system and prepare and educate the future teachers to deal with high demand of information and research outcomes.
I promptly agree to the statement that wellness and growth of the country is high related to the education and the information being received and processed during the educational period of people. Having a well prepared and skilled teachers in school and having access to a cut-of -edge school premise will lead to a self esteem and a high personal development of each student and later could be seen in every family environment and nevertheless in our societies.
The subject science, apart from other subjects is truly essential for the all-pervasive progress of a country. It is often claimed that for the up-gradation of a country, it is essential for the government to invest more in the teaching of the subject science than any others. While, I don’t believe it to be true. Though, science should be an integral part of our academic subjects yet other subjects like economics, geography or literature are equally pertinent part.
Wish you fast recovery.
Thanks 🙂
Some claim that country’s development depends on the budget being spent on scientific training, and that public educational funds should be reallocated in its favour at the expense of Humanities. This essay’s view is that the modern society poses requirements that go beyond technological prowess, and that the discrimination of arts, history and literature threatens the country’s ability to compete internationally.
National development should be promoted or improved by increasing the funds that is been directed towards teaching science than to other subjects by the government. I do not agree that this would be of positive value to the nation at large.
Science is an important subject. It is often argued that allocation of increased funding to teaching sciences than other courses by a government would lead to the development of the country. Personally, I strongly disagree with that opinion and this essay will support my view.
Can I ask, is it generally considered acceptable to use ‘I’ statements in academic short essays?
For example in answer to the above essay question.
If you are going to present your own personal opinion, you have no choice but to use I or MY. You must use a personal pronoun or it won’t be your own opinion. See the answers: https://ieltsliz.com/how-many-sentences-for-an-essay-introduction/
It is argued by a group of individuals that government should sponsor more funds in teaching science as opposed to any other subject because it would help a nation to flourish. However, I discord with this idea as I believe each curriculum should be treated and funded equally.
The authorities should allot a larger portion of budget in education to sciences curriculum over other courses. Believing it will boost the advancement of the nation. From my view, although sciences is beneficial, I strongly disagree with the idea to unbalance the distribution. The country will more benefit with equal funding.
Some governments believe that development happens when we only invest in science. I disagree that this approach is the best decision, and I believe that investing in other subjects can have an important result too. It is impossible to give all the nation’s future responsibility to a unique theme, while many others also have different ways to create a better world.
The development of any country greatly depends on the manner in which the Government utilize the available funds. On the other hand, scientists are seen as a great influence to the furtherance of any economy in a world that is fast growing. I, therefore, agree that Government should allocate more funding to teaching sciences than to other subjects for the development of the country. Overall, increasing the funding allocated to training scientists will massively improve the country’s economy and drastically reduce the need for the importation of foreign scientists.
For the development and growth of a country, there should be more funding by the government on the science-related subjects than other disciples. I strongly agree with the given notion because the development in the field of science and technology automatically affects other sectors of a country.
An Administrartion should distrubuting greater moneny sponser for science subject than to different subject so that the Nation can be developing. I strongly disagree with for this statement. I think that development is a process that creates growth, progress and positive changes which is possible only we gets proper knowledge from all subject. So Minstry gives equal spending cash for all subject.
Education is the key to development of the nation. Some people think that the Government must allocate more budget to the Sciences than other disciplines, but in my opinion, all sectors of education are to be funded rather than only Sciences. There are many points that support my viewpoint.
Science play a key role in the development and advancement of any nation.for a country to develop,i strongly agree that the government should invest more in teaching science subject and other extra curriculum activities that aids in learning sciences.however other subjects should not be left out.
The development of any country greatly depends on the manner in which the Government utilizes available funds. On the other hand, scientists are seen as a great influence to the furtherance of any economy in a world that is fast growing. With that said, I therefore agree that Government should allocate more funding to teaching sciences than to other subjects, for the development of the country. Overall, increasing the resources given to training scientists will massively improve the country’s economy and drastically reduce the need for importation of foreign scientists.
As of today’s world , science and technology play a vital role. It is also visibly evident that science will be a large part of our futures and it may also takeover us through AI, but this doesn’t mean the government can prioritise science , as that will leave a backlog for other subjects and narrow the stream for students to choose what find as their passion.. Though i do agree that in the end , all streams are connected to science , making it on top of the hierarchy will only force students or parents to choose it as there carrier.
In todays world, most of our development comes from sciences with the help of technology. Each country has a lot of new studies that yet to be discovered, but due to lack of budget, the implementation is still impossible. In order for the country to prosper, the government should provide extra allocation in disseminating the information thru education, so therefore I agree with this statement.
In order to a country to progress government’s ought to spent more money on teaching science subjects rather than on other subjects. In my opinion, I agree that giving importance for teaching science subjects is necessary for better understanding about the world which we live and for better adaptability.
It is ofently believed that for the growth of the country, the government authorities should provide large number of funds to teaching science instead of funding support to other subjects. In my opinion, supporting and allocating more funds to teaching science subject is highly important however, the funds required for teaching other subjects cannot be overlooked because the other subjects are also considered helpful in reshaping the growth of child and the country.
It is a general believe that science is the only subject that can be helpful for the development of a country, therefore the government should assign more money for science education rather than other subjects. In my opinion, there should be a balanced approach in the funding, just not for science but also for other subjects and areas of career development and profession. I don’t agree with this statement completely.
Science has been changed the world drastically since recent past. Knowledge of the science will give ability to think and apply in day to day life to improve their life. Therefore I believe a government of a country should more focus on science education than other subjects and invest more money on that.
The allocation of monetary resources towards science education should be of higher priority than to other fields of learning. I am agreeable to this sentiment in view of current advancement trends that are more inclined to scientific research.
Science in itself, requires more than enough funding in order to be up to date with technology and other scientific advancement. Hence, the need for the government to prioritise this subject over other subject in terms of allocation of funds can indeed not be over emphasised or termed as unnecessary by any government that craves for the growth or development of its county.
The government should invest more in the teaching of science over other relatively important subjects to propel the development of the country. I agree to this analogy because, science has been the bedrock of development in very important aspects of our life.
It is often argued that the state should fund the education of sciences than other disciplines in order to develop the nation. I do not support this due to the fact that other courses is also as important as science subjects in the sense that development can come from arts and culture.
The government education system must reserve a various portion to science subjects, rather than different technical subjects. So, that entire nation can make a several development. I completely, agree with this statement, because it is essential part of paramedical field. However, I also believe that this science knowledge also beneficial for engineering students as well.
Some are of the opinion that more funding for taught science subjects over other subjects by government will lead to more development. However, this might not totally be true as variety spices up life and in this case, equal funding for all taught subjects will lead to a general growth. So I disagree.

The role which science play in the development and civilization of a country cannot be over emphasized.Therefore , I strongly agree for a country to develop in terms of technology know-how and otherwise, the government should invest more in the teaching of sciences and also other extra curricular activities that aids in learning. However, other subjects should not be neglected.
There is no doubt that science and technology has contributed immensely towards the the development of nations across the world. Nations like China, Germany, America and Japan to mention just a few are recognized in the world today because of their advancement in science and technology. So in my own opinion, the government should allocate more funds to science and technology as it is the bedrock of the nation’s development and all other sectors of education solely reply on it to function well.
The role of science has proven to be monumental in development as evidenced by its tremenduous influence on historical inventions. In modern times too, science is the bedrock of technological and medical advancements that drive economies in most countries. Therefore I agree that governments should invest more in the teaching of sciences that other subjects.
For a country to develop, it would be useful for the government to prioritize and allocate increased funding for teaching science subjects other than others.I agree that if the government gives additional funding ,there will be innovation and technological advances hence development.
Education creates a firm foundation for a nation, however science subjects have continued to be of great impact to the development of the nations than the other subjects. I therefore agree that more funds should be allocated to the science subjects than the rest of the subjects.
Mam, could you please provide a full sample answer to this task of band 8 ..
Allocating more money for teaching sciences as compared to other subjects in order to develop a nation is what the government is supposed to do. In my opinion, I do not agree with this because a country’s growth is decided by a number of factors and every subject plays a crucial role in it.
Owing to the current rate of technological development that the world has been experiencing proves that the government has been allocating more funding to teaching sciences compared to other subjects. In my opinion it is now time to focus more on other subjects so I disagree with this statement.
I don’t believe that the growth of a Nation is relay on one particular field. Cabinet should distribute the budget equally for the mentoring of all academic subjects instead of allocating extra funds only to Science field.
