I just saw a thread of the courses that are still relevant and I want to ask if Art and social science classes going Extinct. Because I'm an art person, and I feel really sad that the country has made art look dumb and useless.


Please our educationists in the house, is art going extinct and what can we do to curb it?.

Sorry to say, but I am "shaming" for you. Such gullibility. Please my bro, your outcry and fear is not exactly what this screenshot is communicating.

There's generally a lot of reinvention going on with most programmes in the sciences but I still see sciences serving for a long time. But with art and commercial courses it would really be a battle to save some programmes from imminent doom.

The 21st century is generally proving tough as the science and tech that is supposed to make life better is taking our jobs away.

Personally I worry myself, when I worked in Nigerian Bott Comp we had all sort of factory workers in the plant but when I saw how other coca cola franchises in the US were operating I was alarmed. They had phased out humans from much of their manufacturing processes and had acheived better performances. And of course wouldn't have to deal with casualties and massive workers wage...

The question is who needs to hire several bankers when an app could just do their job just fine. Who needs to hire a receptionist when robots are doing the jobs fine in Japan. Artificial intelligence now does newscasting in china. Heck even Airtel now has an AI based customer service system. So this problem is a general and longterm one.

I can't even advise you on what course to study because in the next few years more courses may fall off into irrelevance too.

Hoping you get satisfactory answers from others

Sorry?

Art and Social sciences aren't going totally extinct as suggested but will always take the back seat because they don't address the most pressing human needs that sciences tend to target directly.
You need a bunch of farmers / agriculturists to produce food and create business activities before engaging accountants to keep record of their establishment expenses and income.

This bitter but true fact was highlighted in America during the great depression, the money system failed and then it became clear who was king? The accountants and corporate guys or the country side farmers? Some country side farmers would take their excess corn and use it as fuel to cook for themselves while the corporate suit and tie guys like accountants from towns were starving to death and begging to do menial jobs for even milk or corn. Sciences are built more closely around pressing human needs than arts and social sciences and that explains why in biting economic times or atmosphere, arts and business science minds always appear to be going extinct.
Give folks enough food and they will start patronizing artists and business scientists again.

Nice, how can we still encourage Arts and social science at a primary level?

By making sciences more effective. If as a farmer science and tech helps me triple my output that increases supply and drives down prices and when that happens, the nation is better fed and people can always think about patronizing artists for leisure and business scientists like business administrators and accountant will have a thriving business to run and thus jobs for them.
Same logic applies to health. Science make people more healthy and then they can be in a position to patronize artist.

the pure sciences are key because they address human needs and not just human wants. Transport, communication, health, food, shelter, education and the most pressing needs of man are directly science driven.
