Q: Some people say that at all levels of education, from primary school to university, too much time is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skills. Do you agree or disagree?

With the revolution in all aspects of our

world

,

education

also

needs reforms.Unfortunately,

education

has barely changed since the 19th century,especially in developing countries.Some people rightly advocate the importance of incorporating

practical life skills along with learning and memorizing facts with which I would strongly agree as the modern

world

demands practical knowledge and we tend to remember

things

that we

practice

.

To begin

with,the pedagogy has almost been the same for a very long and our way of teaching has been learning facts rather than practising real-life skills.

This

has been the reason why some students in every class prioritize merely memorizing stuff in order to succeed in their exams which they might do because of our orthodox pedagogy and examination criteria but rarely succeed in their practical life.I understand that learning is

also

an important aspect of

education

as one would only be able to understand the importance of something and its history through

this

theoretical knowledge.

Nevertheless

,maintaining a healthy ratio between theoretical and practical knowledge is important.

Secondly

,practical

education

holds vital importance in the modern

world

.The dynamics of

this

new

world

are changing day by day and it demands much more practical skills than it did previously.

For instance

,if a pharmacy student is merely taught how to develop a medication theoretically

then

he would have to take time to learn to apply it practically

which

and

he may lag much behind the others when he would step into his professional life.To reiterate,merely memorizing stuff is not enough in

this

fastly progressing

world

if it is not applied practically.

Thirdly

, the human mind is designed to remember the

things

that are frequently practised.That's why we tend to remember

things

that we

practice

rather than what we read in books years back.

For instance

,people who leave their high school in order to pursue some other career

such

as musicians and artists merely remember

things

that they learnt from school.

Thus

,we remember

things

that come into our

practice

. To summarise,all aspects of

education

are important either theory or practical.

Nevertheless

,in order to prepare youth for the future,we must incorporate the

practice

into our

education

if we want to progress.
