A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position

There are many reasons convince me to contradict this recommendation. Prior to conducting any scrutiny, the structure of a typical nation should be taken into consideration. Many states consist of diverse ethnic, religious, linguistic minorities that necessitates their specific considerations; therefore, the unified national curriculum does not satisfy their educational requirements.

To establish a framework for this recommendation, in the first place, I aim to elaborate a particular multi-cultural, multi-religions and multi-linguistics nation. Nowadays, the human rights charter demands all people to be treated equally without any racial segregation and ethnic discriminations. It signifies that all people regardless their colors, races, religions, languages and orientations should enjoy the full range of human rights. Thus, curriculum is not an exception; in a state with diverse minorities, various curriculums corresponding to their ethnic, religion and language requirements should be developed and implemented. Under this circumstance, all people would benefit the justice and equality so that they can be educated without any violation of their rights. However, there is no doubt, that in such condition, there would be the common educational materials which should be included in all various curriculums as they all live and serve under the same flag.

As an individual grown up in a society where all minorities have been forced to study the similar curriculum until arriving at college, I have suffered from its flaws and weaknesses. Throughout education period, we never provided with subjects based on our mother tongue; it implies that we have been treated unfair because it can be considered as a violation of one of our authentic rights. Furthermore, we never allowed to formally learn about our own religious rituals, historical background as well as our rich literature.

In conclusion, the optimal manner to educate people is to firstly recognize their identity and requirements and then develop a curriculum which best match their condition. If a society is composed of various ethnic and religious classifications, the optimal condition is to consider their necessities from the bird’s eye view, otherwise their rights to the open and fair education is interfered with and subsequently negative consequences may occur in the future when people one day realize that they had been treated with bias and discrimination.
