Is History as a Subject in School Needed?
Can there be a much more useless subject than history, everything that you learn about has already happened and is in the past. It is often a long way in the past and you can’t even go and talk to people who participated in that bit of history. History is also difficult to teach, it is both vast as it contains everything in the past and is ever changing. The emphasis used to be on monarchs and dates, now everything is about social history. History can even disappear when those in power don’t like what has happened and want to make their role more heroic as Stalin did. History teaching is therefore a minefield and it is no surprise that many schools have given up upon it. But education secretary Michael Gove is trying to rekindle interest but can he succeed in a society where all that seems to matter are the grades achieved at the end. Getting a good grade is much simpler when the subject is not likely to change!.
This is form.
History offers knowledge that coincides with other subjects
Yes because…
Whilst subjects such as Maths and Science may seem more important in a world that relies upon workers in the financial industry and doctors, History as a subject as less of a priority. However, History offers more than an update of past events. Pupils/students learn how to formulate arguments, compare and analyse sources, and learn about cultural differences and changes. Additionally, knoeldege aquired from History lessons may help with other topics. For instance, learning about a war or dictatorship might provide background knowledge which assists the pupil in understanding novel in English Literature studies. Young people need an all round eductaion in order to progres through the various challenges life brings. If history is not neccessary; why do we have museums? History offers knowledge about some of the greatest and most influential people from various time periods. Knowledge is always neccessary for progression.
