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

The subject of

time

spent learning facts and not practical skills in all levels of

education

is debatable. Some people say that

in

Suggestion

at

all levels of

education

most of the

time

is spent learning about facts or theories than actual practical

work

.

This

essay will discuss why most people feel

this

way about the

education

system in general.

Firstly

, in primary schools, a

lot

of persons say

this

is the most critical aspect of ant child's

life

because it is at

this

point that their mind is able to absorb a

lot

of knowledge.

In other words

, it is at

this

period that more

time

should

allocated

Suggestion

allocate

to children in picking more practical skills that would be

beneficial

to them on the long run.

For example

, if children at a certain primary school, are taught about

fun things

Suggestion

the fun things

they could do with computers

such

as building a

simple fun

simple, fun

game, it would go a long way in paving a career path for those children in the information technology or industrial sector.

Secondly

, in secondary schools,

this

level

of

education

is another critical

time

in the

life

of an individual because

this

is when they are given the necessary skills to survive in the outside world. It is at

this

point that a person can decide if he or she

wants to go

Suggestion

wants to go to university

university

to

further

their career or take up vocation

work

and build their experience.

Furthermore

, most individuals at the puberty stage in their

life

are torn between going to the

university

or taking up

work

after secondary school. Some people believe that if students at the secondary

level

spent more

time

in classes learning practical skills e.g.

dress

Dress

making, mechanics, fashion designing etc.

It

would play a key role in directing their

life

path.

Also it

Also, it

has been debated by some students that not enough

practicals

practices

are added to the curriculum of major science subjects

such

as physics, biology and chemistry. These science subjects are one of the most essential areas in the secondary

level

of

education

because it determines whether an individual is meant to be a doctor or an engineer.

For

instance if

Accept comma addition

instance, if

a child at the secondary

level

is more interested in biology and chemistry, it is more likely that he or she would go

university

to a study course that would prepare them for a career in the health industry.

Thirdly

, the tertiary

level

of

education

prepares an individual for either a

life

in academia of their chosen field of study or the general

work

force. A

of graduates and

univeristies

that they were not taught enough practical skills that would have equipped them for the workforce.

For instance

a graduate of mechanical engineering is only taught engineering theories and higher order mathematics not how those theories are applicable to real world problems.

Finally

, in my

opinon

a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty

opinion

, I tend to agree that not enough practical skills are taught to students in all levels of

education

based on personal experience. In my own experience, as a graduate of mechanical engineering I was not exposed to a

lot

of real world problems I could solve using

first

principle theories and mathematics learned during

university

. In conclusion, the

education

system needs to be revamped in

to provide

adequate allocation

an adequate allocation

of

time

spent for practical skills than learning facts.
