that followed, I studied Maths (Main), Physics (Ancillary), World History (Minor), as educators then felt that exposure to the Arts subjects would improve the scientist’s depth of vision. While the Arts improve soft skills like communication, Science sharpens analytical and independent thinking. Maths is seen to be intertwined with the Arts such as music, dance, and architecture. It is therefore clear that blended learning of science and arts subjects is beneficial but the current level of blend is not sufficient. Not only will this go a long way in improving their soft skills but also help them develop in a holistic manner.
