Some people say that in all levels of education, from primary schools to universities, too much is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skills. Do you agree or disagree?

There is no doubt that

education

is an important factor in developing society. A number of people think that throughout all stages of

education

, there is too much

time

spent on learning

facts

and there is not enough

time

for learning practical skills. I totally disagree with the statement for two reasons.

To begin

with, learning

facts

in schools is one of the most important guidance for

students

.

This

is because when

students

know the

facts

about how things work around them,

this

will broaden their horizons and make them keen to learn the practical skills needed.

For example

, the

students

who are interested in spending a long

time

studying scientific subjects

such

as Mathematics, these

students

, later on, learn a useful related practical skill

such

as programming because

this

skill is one the main actual applications of Mathematics.

Secondly

, learning

facts

is one of the pivotal references for

students

in universities. The reason for

this

is that many important fields that require thorough scientific explanations and extensive knowledge.

For instance

, in my country, doctors cannot obtain their working license until they successfully pass seven years of

college

education

.

Therefore

, if people spend much

time

learning

facts

, they will be more likely to provide them with the knowledge that will qualify them to be productive members of society. In conclusion, learning

facts

is beneficial in all levels of

education

because

this

gives the

students

the motivation and knowledge to be creative, in my opinion, giving more

time

for learning

facts

is more significant than learning practical skills.
