Well, it's not compulsory for the country to explore more courses, because rather than schools, there are more systems that need to be improved, like the transportation system and health facilities. My country should spend more money on hospitals because more people are dying from preventable diseases and they are not getting the type of treatment they need. I think another priority is transportation because people have to work a long distance to go to new places. I think rather than schools, my nation should spend more money on other essential services.
