Nowadays, experience is more valued in the workplace than knowledge in many countries. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Experience

and

knowledge

are both crucial in the modern work environment.

However

, I personally feel that the focus on the former is much more beneficial in the modern

knowledge

-based economy. The importance of

knowledge

for

workers

cannot be underestimated.

For example

, employees need qualifications and

knowledge

of

skills

such

as numeracy and literacy, as well as

knowledge

of how systems,

such

as computer systems, work. In order for professionals

such

as engineers, teachers or doctors to be successful,

for example

in their careers, they need

knowledge

as well as

experience

. While certain types of

knowledge

can be acquired during work

experience

, it is essential for a body of

knowledge

such

as medical and engineering information to be acquired beforehand. In today's world,

however

, where

knowledge

is effectively controlled by machines, it is essential for

workers

to focus on developing the

skills

to manipulate

this

knowledge

, as it is so voluminous that it is now impossible to acquire.

Knowledge

, in effect, plays a secondary role

skills

and

experience

. There are,

therefore

, clear advantages to attaching greater value to

experience

compared to

knowledge

in the workplace. The modern world demands that companies and institutions have employees with very sophisticated

skills

not just in technology, but in dealing with modern systems.

As a result

, frequently

knowledge

and without

with the necessary

, it is impossible for companies and organisations to flourish. As we have seen, despite
