Some educationalists argue that non-exam, arts-based subjects, such as

music, drama, art and craft, should be compulsory in the secondary-school


curriculum. They believe that activities such as these can improve overall
academic performance. To what extend do you agree or disagree?
Some people believe that students must attend non-exam subjects in their
secondary school, whereas others think that it is more important for them to
concentrate on essential subjects such as Maths and Physics. Personally, this
decision could give both positive and negative effects to the pupils.
One reason that scholars should take these arts-based classes is that being
equipped with skills learnt in these classes can support the students to integrate
with the world easier. In addition, this could make kids to stand more confident in
the crowd when they are possessed with a talent. This is particularly problematic if
they are not able to be more outstanding, this situation later will lead themselves to
become more taciturn, who are not able to harmonize with the society. There is
ample evidence that students with talents in these fields compare to students who
have same level of education but lack in special skills will achieve and have more
relationships which help much in life.
The oppenents argue that secondary students should attend in arts-based subject
because this can promote them to interact better with the society. While it is true
that this benefits them much, the fact is that this overwhelmed students as they
have to beared a numerous works at school beside these subjects. Consequently,
this will increase stress, causing burden for students. Moreover, the students can
use the efforts that they have invested in these subjects such as time and materials
for other deficient subjects that they are facing with. In reality, the amount of time
using to finish a drawing could be saved to evaluate more maths problems that are
more crucial.
In conclusion, the fact that this adjustment have both advantages and
disadvantages is undeniable but in my opinion, the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages so this approach should be consider in both ways.
