Academic teaching is important for passing the exam, and other skills such as cooking or dressing should be not taught. To what extend you agree or disagree

Overall development of a child is

one

of the key aspects that contribute to success. Acquiring academic knowledge is important, but it is not enough to survive the ups and downs of life.

Therefore

, I disagree with the idea, to limit teaching to academic for the sake of passing exams. In

this

essay, I will discuss the importance of other

skills

along with academics. To commence with my disagreement, it should be noted that education is a medium of developing logic in a child's brain, to face a situation.

In other words

, academic help us to earn a living, but to be in

society

,

one

needs to learn about how

one

has to present himself in

society

.

For instance

, if a great mathematician is invited to honour his achievement and he did not wear the appropriate clothing, he might not receive the respect he deserves.

Therefore

, a child must be taught about how to dress up in the

society

in which we live. There are certain moral

skills

and duties that every person expects from others in

society

.

For example

, providing

first

aid to an ailing patient is necessary for its survival, and a person nearby can assist in providing it.

This

is possible only if he has some basic knowledge or

skills

to do so.

However

, it is not an obligation as part of academic teaching of helping a person in need, but

one

must do it on humanitarian grounds. To summarise the essay, it is absolutely necessary to teach social

skills

and moral values to students receiving academic qualification.

This

will support in maintaining work-life balance in our lives, without which, it would be a quite messy
