题目大意
为了去帮助一个国家进步并发展，政府的钱应该投资在教授科学相关的科目而不是其他科目。你在多大程度上同意或者不同意？
思路解析
这是一道政府类话题，题目不算难，审题的时候注意两个点。
一是目的：help a country make progress and develop帮助国家进步和发展，我们这道题的讨论要记住为了这个目的服务的。考生如果写出“政府应该投资艺术教育，因为艺术能够提升个人修养”，不好意思，跑题了。
二是为了达成这个目的政府花钱应该都投资科学教育还是要涉及其他学科。
其实大家用自己的常识想想，如果一个国家要进步发展，能只靠科学吗？不能，一定是科学、商业经济、艺术文化、政治等全方面发展的，所以我们建议可以“不同意”的角度来切入这道题。
首先，我们承认科学教育的必要性，因为一个国家无论农业、工业、军事、医疗、电子技术等领域的提升都是需要依靠科学进步，而科学需要进步，意味着需要大量的科研人才投入。因此，为了培养科研人才，政府必然要花钱投入科学教育。
但是，我们可以从两个角度来“不同意”。一是刚刚提到的，国家想要发展进步，是需要全方面人才的。二是很多学科人才的培养也是需要政府资金投入的。
一个国家想要进步发展，除了科学发展，经济和文化也需要发展，经济发展意味着百姓生活能过得更富裕，文化发展意味着百姓精神生活能更加充实（四个自信中的文化自信了解下）。而想要经济发展就需要优秀的经济学家、金融人员等，文化发展则需要更多艺术家、考古学家等，这些人才都是需要培养的。
而想要培养出这些人才，同样也是需要政府资金投入的。比如考古学家培养，是需要去大量现场实践的，而在考古过程中，可能会面临严峻的环境，这就需要大量先进设备和配套设施长时间的投入使用，这些花费是需要政府的资金投入。
提纲
范文示例
Education has been and will continue to be central to the country’s economic performance in the 21st century, and the topic of whether it is appropriate to only allocate the educational budget to the subjects related to science is of great concern for many people. It seems to me that despite the importance of science, other subjects also require governments' urgent attention as well as financial support.
First of all, a country’s advances does not solely depend on science, so it is superficial that countries should consider compensation in education is only in science courses. After all, the meaning of nation power is extensive, and the aim of education in the contemporary society is to tailor the students in an all-round way. Not only do the social advances need mathematicians and scientists, the government also should not ignore the influences from artists and writers who can contribute to residents’ spiritual growth and character training.Besides, the courses regarding to art also need the government's subsidies. For example, the major of history, especially the one related to archeology, requires people to make trips to the jungles or other untouched places. Considering the complex and harsh condition they would face during the exploitation, the advanced equipment and other supporting facilities are in great needs, which requires enormous investment of the government.
Admittedly, investing science education exclusively might facilitate the cultivation of talents in this domain,and the national competition to some extent is the talent competition. Technology is the driving force of development of productive forces, training a large number of scientists and technicians can inject fresh vitality into the country's development and powerful.However, in order to guarantee the sustainable development, talents from other fields who can help to make appropriate developing strategies are also in great need.
To conclude, science education certainly deserves more governmental investments but it does not mean that other subjects are no longer important.
