In some countries in Europe, some children from the age of 11 or 13 go to schools to learn more practical skills that will help them get a job.

Commonly, in European countries, teenagers are sent to schools that help them to develop practical skills in order to be better prepared for the

. Many students in early ages do not know if they will like a certain activity only based on books;

hence

, when an education program provides opportunities for students to experience the practical aspect of some activity teens are more likely to decide better between different careers options.

For example

, when I was in school I had the opportunity to visit a hospital. Seeing doctors helping people and curing their diseases was fundamental for me to decide to become a doctor in the

future

. To conclude, I believe that schools should focus on teaching and developing practical skills in children, not only because it could help them to be better prepared to find a good
