15. Subjects like arts, music and drama are more important than other 
subjects and therefore should be given more time in the calendar. Do you 
agree or disagree? 
 
  
It is argued that the arts, music and drama are more important than the other subjects. Some 
students flourish when studying music, art or drama but maths and science are also subjects that 
are essential in life. I strongly disagree with the fact that arts, music and are more important than 
other subjects.  
  
I agree with the fact that not everyone has a talent for mathematics, physics or languages and 
many students only do their best work when they can be creative. Many students simply cannot 
focus on traditional subjects such as maths, science or history unless they are expressing 
themselves creatively through painting, song or dance. Some people would disagree with this 
view and say that art stops young children from spending enough time on the more important 
subjects and passing major exams.   
  
All the subjects have equal importance, and all the subjects like music, arts and drama should 
have equal weightage as maths, science and history. No field of interest should be considered 
more important than the other. As all students are different and have different field of interest, it 
should be left to the students to pursue their field of interest whether it is maths, science or arts, 
and drama. Some students love maths and physics pursue a career in engineering, some love 
science and biology pursue a career in the medical fields, likewise some love music, dance, or 
drama and tend to pursue a career as a singer, musician, dancer, or actor.
