DIVERSITY IN PROGRESSION OF TODAY'S GENERATON Advancement has always been the idea when it comes to education and intelligence, and the subjects that automatically pitches in here are science and math. STEM—science, technology, engineering, and math, is what educators look up to and what they see society needs to pursue in this current generation. Soft sciences had been pushed back in many countries, making learners of subjects in the category feel that they are engaging in an unstable path of interest. This century needs to thrive in attaining a society of innovation, strength, and equipment for a world with strong camaraderie and technology. But these goals cannot be fulfilled by science and mathematics alone. It is given that we need to raise students who can tackle with mathematic and scientific logic, but not everyone in the youth strives to be an architect or in another career in this road. Also, not everyone can pass that standard. We seem to be rejecting the idea that it is essential for the system and well-being of any nation to bring out people who are broadly educated, able to think and project in a logical manner, in a way without the accompaniment of digits and such medium. Many leaders and professionals had professed that innovation is produced in varied creativity. There must be a solution to mold the K-through-12 educational systems to equip students who are sufficiently literate and numerate when they arrive at college to be able to take advantage of all that higher education has to offer, aiming for a diverse strategy to create this goal. In the democracy of this century, people make budgetary power to drive the youth away from disciplines that would provide them with a critical perspective on the current conditions, and with a knowledge of many cultures and systems. The world is now seeking to achieve greatness by monetary solutions to do what the ability of mind could do. Many education officials spend more on STEM education and less in other categories, but that isn’t the only important education. Humanities and its broadness is what builds and improves us as human. The entire world should not lose sight of it, it would indeed be a shame if we do. Many politicians and leaders see liberal arts and humanities as somewhat less worthy of attention and budget, and it is still running today in many debates and discussions. Liberal arts is about people who can comprehend the physical world in depth, knowing the processes and facts in it. People who have the potential to project that knowledge artistically, either written or spoken. No one has the right to look down and pick on someone who dedicates himself or herself to something of less appeal. High salary isn’t the very peak, endpoint, or even the source of happiness for a person. A wide span of education is vital, staying in current is critical. What’s important is how schools collaborate sciences, technology skills, and humanities to mold students in graduating with intelligence and versatility. - Francesca Aquino HUMSS STRAND HUMSS stand for Humanities and Social Sciences.
