Essay topics:

A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.

A nation's strength is determined not by how much military might it has, but by how much literate the national population is. The prompt suggests that all the students of a nation should be required to study the same curriculum until they enter college. I somewhat agree with the statement for two reasons.

First of all, having a sinlge curriculum for all students until high school level will make curriculum management easy and more likely to improve. With a single curriculum, the Government can focus its resources in other sectors of education like infrastructure development. A single curriculum until college will provide a simple benchmark for schools to be compared. This will provide a more accurate insight into school performance and teaching. The single curriculum will be more likely to be improved and adapted to the student's performance in school. So, teaching the same curriculum is better.

Similarly, If students are studying the same curriculum, assessing the performance of students will be more easy. Since, everyone is judged on the same criteria, school will be able to determine how well one does and provide suggestions as needed. It will be easy to compare performance of students when they are studying the same curriculum. It will help in making sure that everyone is at the same level of education when they start their college. Similarly, Schools can organize student exchange programs for longer periods as other school will also be teaching the same curriculum. When all the schools from different locality and background work with the same curriculum it is more likely to be better with the suggestions from these variety of schools.

But, having a single curriculum will mean that it will be more difficult for students to realise their interest. Everyone is different and everyone might not perform well on the same curriculum, because of a lack of interest or interest in a different subject out of the curriculum. The period during the high school is when most of the students understand what they want to do in their life and having a single curriculum robs them of many choices and aspects that many varied curriculum could provide. And, having a same curriculum in all school might even be monotonous. So, there should be some variety in curriculum to allow the students to find their aptitude.

Hence, having a single national curriculum is good but it might not be a perfect solution. It will make curriculum management easier but students might be required to perform well in situations out of their interest and aptitude. So, the statement from the prompt doesn't have a simple conclusion.
