1 an appropriate national education 2 is of 3 importance to the development of any country. It is often believed that science subjects should attract more investment than other disciplines.

History is also more significant than science studies, in my opinion, because it may 7 a sense of 8 in students, and as a result they may be more willing to contribute to the country in thefuture. In sharp contrasttothis, many developing nations have witnessed a vast number of scientists who choose to 9 to more developed nations for better living and working conditions. If history had been 10 as a school subject, this 11 may not have occurred because these scientists would have felt more 12 to remain in their homeland and contribute to society.
