debate Poetry and literature, like science and mathematics, are essential to a well-rounded education. They cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence, skills crucial for navigating our complex world. However, the current educational focus heavily favours STEM subjects, often sidelining the arts. Problems with the Current Emphasis: Lack of Holistic Development: Overemphasis on STEM subjects can neglect the development of emotional and creative skills. Literature and poetry encourage empathy, cultural awareness, and critical analysis—traits necessary for comprehensive personal and professional growth. Limited Career Perspectives: By undervaluing the arts, we restrict students' exposure to diverse career paths. Many professions, including those in media, design, and communication, require strong literary skills and creative thinking. Proposed Solutions: Integrated Curriculum: Schools should design curricula that integrate poetry and literature with STEM subjects. For example, literature can be used to explore the ethical dimensions of scientific advancements, and creative writing can enhance problem-solving skills in technical fields. Equal Funding and Resources: Allocate equal resources to arts and STEM programs, ensuring that both areas receive adequate attention and support. This includes funding for literary workshops, creative projects, and access to diverse literary works. Cross-disciplinary Projects: Encourage projects that combine arts and sciences, such as digital storytelling or scientific reporting through creative media. This approach fosters a more dynamic and interconnected learning experience. By giving poetry and literature equal emphasis as science and math, we prepare students not only to excel in their careers but also to become well-rounded, empathetic individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society.
