MAKING NATURAL SCIENCES, TECHNOLOGY, AND ENGINEERING EASIER TO LEARN
Not everyone may be interested in reading this piece, and that is perfectly fine. It is intended for anyone interested in improving their English proficiency.
In reality, to catch up and shed the "developing nation" label in favor of becoming a developed nation, we must enhance our capabilities in: 1) Mathematics, 2) English, 3) Natural Sciences, Technology, and Engineering
Socio-cultural sciences and the humanities remain important and should not be neglected. However, mathematics, English, and natural sciences/technology/engineering are fields that must be mastered. Why? There are at least two reasons: 1) Socio-cultural sciences and the humanities evolve in tandem with advancements in natural sciences, technology, and engineering. 2) Natural sciences, technology, and engineering flourish as socio-cultural sciences and the humanities develop.
The conclusion of this brief article is: 1) Socio-cultural sciences/humanities and natural sciences/technology/engineering do not represent a dichotomy or opposing forces. 2) Since natural sciences, technology, and engineering are often perceived as more difficult than socio-cultural sciences and the humanities, families, communities, and schools must work harder to educate children and adolescents so they view these fields as being just as accessible as the socio-cultural sciences and humanities.
Easy? Certainly not! Yet, this is the struggle required to transform Indonesia into a developed nation.
