It would be beneficial if the appropriate amount of time is divided between all subjects. For an instance, cooking classes should be conducted twice or thrice a week using electronic induction which

hence
 help in developing the culinary methods of a child. To conclude, It will benefit the future generations if they develop these habits at an early age
however
 safety and time management should be appropriately considered by educational institutions.
