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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Learning practical

skills

are way more essential than learning theories. Some people,

however

, argue that education at all stages, from primary school to

universities

, is mainly driven through learning facts

instead

of doing demonstrations. In

this

essay, I will elucidate my perspective on why I agree with

this

proposition. Primarily our education system has designed the curriculum so that

students

at every grade have a vast syllabus to cover, due to which teachers focus on teaching more theories.

For instance

, in primary

schools

,

students

attend a minimum of six classes every day with only a single laboratory class.

Moreover

, in

universities

, the undergraduate pupils spend four long years to finish their course, out of which only six months are dedicated to internships in industries.

In addition

, most of the teachers and professors in

schools

or

universities

do not possess any prior work experience in industries.

Also

,

this

is not one of the crucial criteria for their recruitment.

Therefore

, teachers fail to impart practical

skills

to

students

in

schools

or colleges. Many institutes even do not have highly proficient computer science laboratory assistants or electrical laboratory assistants.

However

,

schools

and

universities

arrange annual Robotics competitions, hackathons, group projects, and other activities which are primarily for inculcating practical

skills

. Sometimes they

also

organize summer camps for training interested

students

in various

skills

. To sum up, I admit that learning practical

skills

is yet to come in the mainstream means of learning. It is

this

practical skill that will be more vital when they will enter the real world.
