Some people say that in all levels 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?

We can’t master any theory if we remain unaware of it practical implementation. Unfortunately, according to some people, our educational system, nowadays, is focusing more on the theoretical concepts and less on how to implement these theories in reality. I personally agree with

by using the examples of Oxford University research and Times Magazine survey in order to demonstrate points and support claims.

Firstly

restructuring. As, our whole academic structure from teaching to the examinations value more to the facts memorization.

Furthermore

,

this

system discourages those students who have trouble memorizing anything.

For example

, Oxford University in 2015 researched about the benefits of memorizing the facts only and find out that it is useless, if

practical knowledge

the practical knowledge

of that fact is zero. So, from

this

example, it is clear that a revision of all the subjects is required in order to accommodate more technical skills in the courses.

Secondly

, real life skills are not considered important in our institutional courses. So,

such

an approach leads to a negative impact when students start their professional career.

Additionally

, students

also

lose their interest in evaluating any theoretical facts in their real life.

Similarly

, a survey of the Times Magazine suggests the same story, that pupils are mostly interested in improving their grades by memorizing more, as technical skills are of less importance in any grading system of the world. So, from

this

example, it is clear that the technical skills are considered unimportant by the institutes, that’s why students

also

don’t like to concentrate on it. To conclude, schools and universities are spending so much of their resources, in finding the ways, which helps their students to memorize concepts faster, but very less is allocated to force students to evaluate those concepts in the real life. So, I personally agree with

this

and I am hopeful that in the future governments will focus more on the practical work as compared to the theoretical knowledge. So, that a more productive generation will emerge.
