Some people think that schools are no longer necessary because people can acquire information on the Internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the advancement in technology in recent times, there's a load of
information
on the
internet
on various subjects.
This
has led people to believe school is no longer important since they can get the knowledge needed for a course from websites. I completely disagree with
this
notion, the significance of schooling can never be replaced, mainly because teachers are essential to explaining subjects,
in addition
, not all the
information
on the
internet
is reliable. The main reason why I believe academies are still principal is the need for trained professionals to expatiate on specific details and
also
, to encourage their students. Courses like medicine, law, engineering and so on, need on-site practice, the scope of these

simply cannot be learnt online. A medical student
for instance
may watch videos on how to perform an operation but will never be able to carry it out successfully without the guidance of a superior.
Furthermore
, with online self-learning, there is no way to accurately assess the level of one's understanding of a topic through tests, homework and exams.
This
is something only educators can do.
Besides
, when a scholar feels discouraged to continue learning, a lecturer would know better how to inspire them.  Another reason the
internet
cannot be exchanged for educational institutions is that
information
online is not trustworthy. With the open-access nature of cyberspace, anyone can post anything without confirming the source or credibility.
This
,
consequently
, could be misleading.
For example
, the history of a certain person or place online could contain fabrications intended to discredit or honour.
Moreover
, there is not enough depth to the
information
on websites, unless it is posted by institutions themselves. One can simply not acquire enough knowledge needed to succeed in a career by reading random blogs. In conclusion, there may be a lot of
information
on the
internet
but
this
can never be a substitute for learning centres as the role of lecturers
