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?
It is often argued that
education
,
across the board, is more theoretical and less practical in nature.I completely agree with Accept space
,
this
observation and over the course of this
essay will provide reasons for this
argument.
There are various reasons to believe why education
is more theoretical in nature. First
of all, it is statistically proven that students attend more number of theory classes than workshops and laboratories across all levels of education
. Students are overburdened with textbooks and have to mug up facts and definitions. Such
style of education
impedes imaginative thinking and innovation. For example
, in a recent study conducted in top universities it was found that computer science students spend more time in learning theory than writing computer code. Consequently
, students develop mediocre coding and problem solving skills; some of the prime skills necessary for a good computer engineer.
Another reason is that due to over emphasis

education
, alarming number of university graduates lack
employment readiness. Due to less hands-on training and over emphasis on bookish knowledge, freshers are ill equipped in practical skills. This
greatly affects their job prospects. For example
, in a recent article published in Economic Times it was found that over 90 % of engineering graduates are unemployable.On further
inquiry it was found that such
graduates lack
hand-on training. This
speaks volumes and proves beyond a reasonable doubt the lack
of practical knowledge in education
.
Having considered a range of arguments, I have come to the conclusion that, in the current state of affairs, education
is more theoretical in nature.From unimaginative thinking to
low employment readiness, to a degree exceeding normal or proper limits
too
lack
of practical skills is glaringly visible in education system
