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 skills. Do you agree or disagree?

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
The prompt recommends that people think the curriculums are designed to teach the
facts
Use synonyms
rather than enhance practical
skills
Use synonyms
most of the
time
Use synonyms
, at all levels of education. In my opinion, I mostly agree with the suggestion and would like to argue on behalf of it.
Although
Linking Words
, the total amount of
time
Use synonyms
students
Use synonyms
get to learn according to the syllabuses is barely sufficient to cover the vast ocean of knowledge and
skills
Use synonyms
they should have at their disposal in order to shine in future.
First
Linking Words
of all, the majority of schools, colleges and universities are more focused on teaching theoretical
lessons
Use synonyms
under ideal conditions.
This
Linking Words
is because of the ease to create a classroom environment and teach the
lessons
Use synonyms
and
facts
Use synonyms
by using pencils, papers, boards and projectors with their highly constrained resources.
For example
Linking Words
, a local school can manage only a modest budget from the local government and the
students
Use synonyms
to run the school, maintain its employees and pay the
teachers
Use synonyms
. And
therefore
Linking Words
, it is very difficult to organize technical workshops, vocational training etc. on a regular basis.
Also
Linking Words
, the universities can not provide laboratories with the latest technologies that can give the
students
Use synonyms
the opportunities to get practical work experiences there. Rather, the authorities depend on companies, who are willing to take
students
Use synonyms
as interns, to compensate those lacking.
This
Linking Words
example illustrates the physical constraints which force educational institutes to rely more on teaching theoretical
facts
Use synonyms
than on providing opportunities to gain practical
skills
Use synonyms
for the
students
Use synonyms
.
Secondly
Linking Words
, from a mental point of view,
teachers
Use synonyms
in all institutions tend to feel comfortable teaching the ideal
facts
Use synonyms
that are backed by proper documentation and proof. And
also
Linking Words
, as
teachers
Use synonyms
are very used to factual teaching due to the traditional emphasis on
such
Linking Words
teaching policies, they do lack the ability to edify the
students
Use synonyms
in a practical manner.
For instance
Linking Words
, the practical skill-enhancing
lessons
Use synonyms
contain too many exceptions and the
teachers
Use synonyms
feel irritated when they find the situation is going beyond the ideal scenarios. They
also
Linking Words
lack the ability to handle the anomalies and enlighten the pupils instantly about what’s going on and why.
This
Linking Words
is another reason
teachers
Use synonyms
prefer teaching theoretical
facts
Use synonyms
to practical skill
lessons
Use synonyms
.
However
Linking Words
, as the amount of knowledge is growing rapidly with modern inventions and the use of information technologies, to keep up with the pace
students
Use synonyms
now have to acquire a vast amount of knowledge in a very short
time
Use synonyms
. So, one way to cope with the issue is to teach them all the
facts
Use synonyms
as quickly as possible and they will gain their practical and technical
skills
Use synonyms
from their workplaces as per demand. To conclude, enhancing practical
skills
Use synonyms
is very important, and it is very unfortunate that educational institutes are paying little attention to that. I think it is high
time
Use synonyms
to help these institutions to come out of
such
Linking Words
constraints and build a better future.
