Some people think government should spend more money on teaching science than in other subjects, in order to make the country develop and progress. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

Nowadays, many people argue that the government needs to allocate more money to science education, while I believe that it has already paid enough to attention to science subjects, and there is no need to provide more financial support for this field.

It cannot be denied that Science and Technology are practical subjects, which usually can help the country develop faster in a measurable way. Such subjects can usually provide more job opportunities for people, which improves the country’s economic statistics directly.  Many modern industries, such as artificial intelligence, big data and genetic research, cannot live without the improvement of science education.

However, I would argue that these subjects can already live on its own, and it will be more feasible for the government to invest on other subjects that need financial support more urgently, such as Education and Philosophy.  As Socrates points out, education is about the improvement of mind.  Spending more money on teaching science can only show students how to use a tool in a more professional way. However, no matter how well a person can work with the tool, if he/she cannot think logically and effectively, this person will possibly remain as a common worker for the rest of their life.  As Xun Zi, a Chinese ancient educator, believes that tools are limitless, while the way to use tools helps people to become outstanding. Allocating more money to Science cannot help people to think more properly.

More frighteningly, if the government encourages people to learn science, it will be possible for more people to choose such subjects, but people usually cannot predict whether the subject will be outdated or not in the future. It is not a surprise to see that some science subjects are no longer needed nowadays, such as fixing Nokia,  fixed lines or some other obsolete equipment. It seems completely legitimate to invest more on science, so that employment rate can be raised a little bit for a short term, but the government usually does not care about people’s unemployment rate after they are 35 years old. It is a more frightening fact that some countries have already spent billions of dollars on the research of chips without any actual rewards, because it is a highly risky and unpredictable field. If the governments continues spending more money on such research, it is foreseeable that they will continue wasting their money, because they do not know how to think logically and effectively. It will not be fruitful to develop science while ignoring the rest.

To conclude, I believe that the potential drawbacks of more investment on science subjects cannot be ignored, while it is more reasonable to invest on other subjects that are already in lack of fund.
