Knowledge is power,Francis bacon wrote long ago. Education has a keyto play in one’s growth and a nation’s development. Education is the driving force of productivity. Keeping this in mind, numerous countries and governmentsare paying closer attention to the cultivation of talents. Peoplediffer greatly in their views as to how to wisely allocateeducational budget, some people assert that instead of supportingother subjects, national investment in science is desirable. As Isee it, government should place equal stress on both science andarts. Granted, plenty ofevidence and arguments could be easily found to prove that it isadvisable for a nation to subsidize science. For a start, thecompetition among different countries, to some extent, amounts tothe competition of gifted people. Science and technology is thestimulating factor of the development of productivity. Largeamounts of talents could inject new life into a nation’sprosperity. Besides, in comparison with art students, those who arebetter equipped with science knowledge such as computer, businessand accounting could create more commercial value. Nevertheless, it israther superficial to simply say that national budget should beonly restricted to science investment. The mightiness of a nationinvolves many aspects and the cultivation of good citizens ortalents is to realize one’s comprehensive development. Theconstruction of a country needs enterprisers, mathematicians andscientist, yet, on no account can we ignore the immense value ofartists, writers, musicians. In addition to science subjects,literature, history, philosophy, music, art and PE should alsobecome the aim of education. Literature strengthens one’s culturaldeposit, history deepens one’s insight into life, philosophyfosters one’s analytical thinking, music moulds one’s temperament,art cultivates one’s artistic eye and PE enhances one’s healthindex. In these senses, art still deserves enough attachment andsupport. Art talents are indispensable to the betterment of acountry. Overall, Ire-affirm my conviction that education should not have too muchutilitarian, conversely, it needs to render more concerns overone’s spiritual growth and character-training. Ideal educationalpolicy should place equal significance on science investment andother subjects
