    Some argue that compulsory volunteer work is beneficial for both students and society and therefore, should be a mandatory part of high-school curriculum. I agree with this opinion, and in this essay, I will explain why unpaid community service should be a compulsory component of high school programmes.

    Many people emphasise that voluntary work ought to be a mandatory component of the high school curriculum. I completely agree with this opinion because it presents students with the opportunity to inculcate a deep sense of civic responsibility and also provides a conducive environment so that they can foster transferable skills.
