History constitutes an important part of the school cirriculum.

It provides
students a sharper and better way to understand their own country and the
events that played a role to shape the world. In some countries they give
more emphasis on the local history. However, there are also countries that
focus a lot on the global history. From my point of view, a more balanced
education about both, where the country’s history is slightly given more
importance, will be finer.

To begin with, there are a plethora of reasons why young people should
have knowledge about their nation’s history. Firstly, it can improve them
gain a better awareness of the historical events that their country has
participated in. This means that they will develop a stronger sense for
their nationality, making them down to earth. For example, learning about
a fight or a war where soldiers with extreme passion win a extravagant
army-ten times the number- will make younger generations ‘’grow’’ a
sensation of pride for the achievements of their region, which can also
inspire them. In addition, it is also useful for pupils to be aware of
mistakes made by historical figures. All of the above mean that the
youngsters are more likely to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Furthermore, students when learning their history gain a great deal. On

the other hand, in order to truly understand events, they need to be taught
about different outlooks of history, being exposed to a more extender
context. This requires decent general comprehension of global history.
Another reason why this history is important is that such understanding
helps students appreciate accomplishments by the same nationality
people and not develop only nationalistic feelings.

In conclusion, schools should focus on the national history but with a

more global prospective. Students should be aware of key events, figures
and customs in both national and world history.
