The portion of the school curriculum dedicated to the arts and music is a reflection of the importance placed on the creative, cultural, and emotional competencies in the education system. Subjects in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are instrumental to intellectual development and career readiness, while arts and music contribute to a balanced creative development, fostering self-expression, cultural literacy, and emotional intelligence. Therefore, rethinking the proportion of arts and music in our schools is not just a matter of curriculum design, but a statement on the educational experiences we value for our students.
【段落译文】 学校课程中分配给艺术和音乐的部分反映了教育系统对创造力、文化修养和情感能力的重视。尽管STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)学科对于智力发展和职业准备是至关重要的,但艺术和音乐对于创造力、自我表达、文化素养以及情商的均衡发展也有重要的贡献。因此,反思我们学校中艺术和音乐的比重,不仅关乎课程设计,更是我们对学生教育经历重视程度的表态。
