"A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter
college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic
courses to offer."
Recently there is a debate over whether a nation should require all its students to study the same curriculum until they enter college or allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer. This issue is a complex and controversial one. Different people hold different opinions due to their distinct backgrounds. Therefore, there is not a universal answer to this question, and whether one choice takes precedence over the other may quite depend on the specific situation. The decision is not easy to make, and as far as I am concerned, however, I think it is necessary to combine the two choices together. My view can be greatly substantiated by the following reasons.
Firstly, as is known to all, our education should teach students to learn basic knowledge and train them to master basic skills which a citizen in a cultivated society need. In addition, it is also obligate for education to teach students about the native traditional values, morals and laws, told them about the essential of our native culture, stimulate them to form a general view of our country which can make them more patriotic. All of this require a unified prime and middle school education, that is to say, the same national core curriculum, the same text books and the similar teaching styles.
In addition, education before college has another obligation, that is to prepare students for higher education. In China, the freshmen who can not meet the standard of English or math would find it very difficult to understand the courses and grasp the teachers' ideas, and students with low physical levels would not do well in physical exercises or even suffer from physical unfitness; if various areas use the same curriculum and accept the same examination standard, those passive phenomenon would decrease and it would benefit not only the students but also the teachers and the administrators.
However, on the other hand, it is not proper to ignore the diversity of distinct regions. As in China, there are many different races which have distinct traditions and various culture, there are also numbers of different religions which hold different views toward the world and life. People have cultural rights to keep their own traditions, believe in their own religions, and even, if any, use their own languages. Therefore, besides the same core courses, we should modify the framework of the curriculum, set some different courses to fit different provinces or communities to keep and strengthen the cultural and educational diversity.
To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to generate an integrate whole and thus become more convincing than any single one of them, we may be comfortable to say that majority of the curriculum in distinct areas should be the same, whereas we should also keep some difference and keep the cultural diversity. |
