Education
 plays a vital role in building up the successful career of a child. It is a common belief that the
education
 system in our country gives more attention to learning theories
instead
 of motivating
students
 for practical
knowledge
. I completely agree with
this
 statement and in
this
 essay, I will support my opinion with examples.
To begin
 with, the
education
 format of each and every board is common and they want
students
 to learn a bookish language
instead
 of implementing it into real life.
For instance
, while doing accountancy we focus on normal formulas and procedures of how to make financial accounts but in ,reality
students
 do not know how these accounts are prepared in the corporate world. If
education
 is seriously linked with a career
then
 it should be planned with practical
knowledge
. Another reason lies with tertiary
education
 where
students
 study human resources ,
for example
, they learn about the procedure of taking an interview of a candidate which is far away different from that interview being held in a practical world.
As a result
,
students
 are unable to cope with the companies when they start their careers and have to learn from scratch.
On the other hand
, there is an argument that the
education
 system
do
Change the verb form
does
show examples
 focus on practical things
also
 when
students
 are learning about computer
knowledge
 .
Thus
, it is more practical terms that help them to learn MS office in a better way. To conclude, some people believe that
students
 devote maximum time of their schooling to learning theories than focusing on enhancing their practical
knowledge
. I believe that it is happening because of the outdated
education
 system which needs to be modified so that
students
 can make
successful
Add an article
a successful

career
Fix the agreement mistake
careers
show examples
 in future.
