Some people claim that the more governmental funding should be invested in education than arts. I disagree with this opinion, as art is as equally important as education in terms of cultural and social benefits.
On the one hand, spending more money on education would bring many opportunities for the country. As education systems in the world are changing day by day. There is a need for the government to invest more funding in order to improve their educational services. For example, with the help of government’s financial help, the new school and university can be constructed, plus the good facilities will be provided for students. By using educational facilities such as libraries or discussion rooms, they will have more chances to spend their time in a productive way. As a result, these improvements can not only affect positively to students’ studies but also assist them to utilizs resources efficiently.
On the other hand, putting money into art is not absurd as it also plays an essential role like education in our life. Firstly, if the government invest money to preserve art , it will be economically benefical for it. As many tourists travel to foreign counties in order to enjoy the host countries’ different art forms and they may also purchase them as souvenirs. Secondly, art has a connection with a particular country’s history as well as culture. If the government do not spent money on the preservation of art, there will be a high possibility of loosing country’s identity and cultural values.
In conclusion, i believe that the government should not overlook the importance of art, when it comes to spending money. However, education is also a key tool to improve the society.
