Some people say that in all level of education, from primary school to universities, too much time is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skills. Do you agree or disagree?

Some believe that there is more emphasis on learning facts rather than practical skills at all the levels of

education

, right from primary school to universities.

This

essay agrees that there is more focus on learning theories and facts than practical skills because of the design of

For example

, a disciple of class 10th has 7 lectures a day for 5 days a week. Out of these 35 lectures, only 3 to 4 lectures are for practical training.

This

amounts to around 10% only. A student prepares and learns as per the exams. If one is tested more on

theory

rather than on pragmatic angle,

then

it is obvious that he would learn

theory

and facts more than their pragmatic application. In the exams conducted at all the level, the

For example
