Prompt:

Education is an important part of one's life and it is required that students get proper education before they enter college. The argument speaks in the favor of the same and states that a same national curriculum should be studied by all the students in a nation until they enter college. Some may disagree because the same national curriculum will lead to less diversity among various regions in terms of education. However, I agree with the argument and reasons for holding that opinion are illustrated in the subsequent paragraphs.

First, many students get different level of pre-college education in various regions of the world. The schools mandate studying the school-made curriculum and difference is seen in the education level for students from different schools. For example, if there is a inter-school competition which demands knowledge of subjects taught in school, then many of the participants will not able to fully answer as the subjects are not taught in depth as compared to other schools. This leads to disadvantage for some students and advantage for some. So, it is essential that all the students of a nation follow the same national curriculum.

Second, it is seen that college select students based upon their high school percentage and other extracurricular factors. There is fight amongst students to get in a reputated college. Some schools have a exacting curriculum that makes it difficult for students to score high even after working diligently. On the other hand, some schools have a facile curriculum that leads to a large number of students scoring high percentage. This creates disadvantage for students at the time of applying for colleges. However, if a same curriculum is followed across the nation, then there will be no such differences. Each student will be taught the same curriculum and the students selection in colleges will be based on their efforts in exams.

Moreover, some may say that there are schools who might not be able to teach a same national curriculum because of low finance and less resources. However, if a nation requires a same national curriculum, then it would take care of these problems and will build a curriculum that suits to all the schools in a nation.
