9 мая писал эссе не тему: some people believe that science should be a part of the education. Others do not agree that everyone need to study science. Discuss both opinions and give yours.

Science is an inalienable part of education. Textbooks and programs are expected to be based on science. The very idea of education incorporates knowledge based on evidence. And evidence can be found only in the scientific research and data.
There are some people who are interested in ‘real life’ and are contemptuous of science. They believe in ‘real life’ observations and make superfluous conclusions.
From my early years’ school experience I remember a teacher who shared with us, his students, his impressions about New Zealand. He claimed that the New Zealanders do not eat meet. I was a trifle puzzled because “The New York Times”, I had read, carried a piece of information that stood in stark opposition to the claim of my teacher: New Zealand comes fifth in the consumption of meet among the countries of our planet.
This is where I draw a line of distinction between a ‘real life’ observation and a statistical datum that is certainly related to research and authority. The former may be misleading and the latter can really be helpful.
There are some controversial issues, such as euthanasia or abortion or gay marriages. I have no clear idea about these things because science, religion and ‘real world’ experience seem to be at loggerheads here. I am not sure whether these issues should be a subject of discussion at school.
What I am sure of is that education programs must be based on research and evidence and must not drown students in ethical issues.
