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 skills. Do you agree or disagree?

These days, we can observe that

students

are engaged with a long curriculum schedule from primary school to university graduation. Some people think that it is a common practice amongst many

students

to keep on learning from the books and classroom throughout the curriculum rather than trying on hand experience what they learn. I agree with

this

view and in

this

essay, I am going to discuss my view on

this

matter.

To begin

with, there are many different subjects to be taught in schools and colleges which are usually long, busy and time-consuming.

Thus

,

students

do not get enough time to learn some physical

skills

.

For instance

, in engineering ,collages there are many laboratories for the

student

to perform some practical tasks which they learn in theory classes,

however

, the majority of

students

do not show interest to carry out practicals because of the packed

study

timetable of the theory classes.

Secondly

, many

students

think that formal education will be more useful for them

therefore

, they invest the majority of their time in classroom studies. They think that what they grasp from the books and what is taught to us in class will be adequate.

For instance

, as per a recent survey of 100

students

from different universities which were based on the

student

's view toward practical

study

and book-based

study

and the result was astounding, around 60-65% of a

student

gave their preference to classroom

study

over the field experience or learning practical

skills

. In conclusion,

although

it is vital for a

student

to learn practical

skills

, due to the current busy educational syllabus and individual interest to learn practical

skills

, the majority of

students

prefer to learn factual information in schools and colleges.
