    Some of the key takeaways are that outdated preconceptions about certain subjects being better suited for men and the potential for higher pay in other fields have led to fewer students choosing to study science subjects. This has negative impacts on societies as there is an oversupply of social science graduates and deficit of graduates with technical skills.

    One of the preconceptions mentioned is that certain subjects like mathematics, computer science and technologies are better suited for men. Another is that in the past, scientists were paid significantly less than professionals in other prestigious fields like business and law.

    Two reasons given for the lack of science students are outdated preconceptions about certain subjects and historic lower pay in science fields compared to others like business and law.

    THE TASK

    Not enough students around the world choose to study science


    subjects at university. What are the reasons for this? What impact does
    this issue have on society?

    Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from
    your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

    THE SAMPLE ANSWER

    Technology is rapidly changing the lives of people around the world, creating
    a high demand for university graduates with a background in science.
    However, the number of students studying relevant subjects is well below the
    required level. This problem seems to be caused by outdated
    preconceptions, which determine young people’s choices today. (52 words)

    One of those preconceptions is that certain subjects are better suited for
    men. Examples of these include mathematics, computer science,
    technologies and other fields of knowledge, which are totally dominated by
    males. In recent decades, a noticeable progress has been achieved by
    many countries in acknowledging that men and women are equally capable
    in science. Despite this big step towards equality, female employees may still
    feel unwelcome or, in some instances, face evident discrimination in male-
    dominated work environments. As a result, many women with a natural
    inclination to science settle on studying humanities or social science at
    university, depriving society of their main talent. (104 words)

    Another reason for the lack of science students spreads even wider. In the
    past, scientists were paid significantly less than professionals in such prestigious
    areas, such as business and law. Therefore, ambitious young people tended
    to choose highly paid occupations, disregarding their aptitude for science.
    Things have changed; today jobs in science are among those with the
    highest remuneration, but this trend is yet to be reflected in the university

    application numbers. For example, in the UK, over half of all international
    students still choose to study for a degree in business. Consequently,
    economies around the world are affected by an oversupply of social science
    graduates and a deficit of graduates with technical skills. Not surprisingly,
    complaints of fresh graduates who cannot find a job are frequent. (127
    words)

    To conclude, it seems some young people still perceive studying science as a


    route towards a mediocre income from a job where most of one’s colleagues
    are men. Thus, too many opt for a degree in social sciences, creating an
    imbalanced society where highly-educated university graduates struggle to
    find a skilled job. (52 words)
