We live in a world that is constantly transforming, and as a result, we are witnessing changes in

our culture, religion, customs, lifestyles, and family systems. While many of these changes are
for the better, some are met with concern. One ongoing debate is whether schools should raise
funds for language development or career development. This essay explores the issue to reach a
logical conclusion.
To begin with, language barriers can significantly hinder both personal growth and professional
advancement. A recent survey conducted by The Times of India found that 80 percent of migrants
in Canada suffer from mental health issues, including depression, due to a lack of English
proficiency. One major reason is their inability to engage in social activities, such as joining
clubs or attending community events. This leads to feelings of loneliness and anxiety, which may
eventually result in more serious mental disorders. If educational institutions allocate funds for
free language classes, such challenges can be substantially reduced.
Moreover, without language proficiency, individuals cannot excel in their careers. In countries
like Australia and Canada, many skilled foreign workers face difficulties due to limited language
skills. Although they may possess excellent technical abilities, their inability to express their
views effectively becomes a major barrier to success in the workplace.
To conclude, if the government takes innovative steps to support language education in schools,
many of these issues can be addressed. Prioritizing language development is essential for both
personal well-being and the smooth functioning of society
