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 skill. Do you agree or disagree?

Education is a mandatory thing that people must have to train a framework of thinking. There is an opinion that every education level from primary schools until universities is busier giving facts to

students

rather than practising practical

skills

. To my view, regarding the

curriculum

in my country, the opinion is very relevant. I will explain two points of view which are the tight

curriculum

and

companies

’ preferences to attest to my argument.

First

of all, most of the

curriculum

is giving a lot of classes in a very short

time

.

For instance

,

students

usually have to attend four classes every day. The fact is that

students

are studying those classes by reading and listening to the theories and don’t have enough

time

to explore practical

skills

.

Students

will prefer memorizing to practising their studies.

However

, it is good for

students

to develop their memorization

skills

and learn the basics theories, while it is not enough for dealing with work situations.

Secondly

, most

companies

will hire employees who have more practical

skills

than someone who understands more factual theories.

For example

, technology

companies

are always innovating their products and have very fast paces to develop their products,

thus

they need programmers who are agile and flexible to code and ready to fix bugs in systems in a short

time

. According to the situation, young programmers who are just graduated will struggle to face complex coding that they have never faced in university life.

This

triggers

companies

to choose employee candidates who have working experience than academic achievements. In conclusion, the

skills

that

students

get from schools or universities are not enough for

companies

to hire them regarding their practical

skills

. It is supporting the public opinion above. It is the

time

for educational institutions to rearrange their

curriculum

to build

students

whose at least basic practical

skills

to face a working world.
