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?

In the contemporary era, many flok think that our

education

system is providing only theoretical knowledge to students rather than practical skills. The following paragraph would highlight my perspective which leads to a logical conclusion. In schools, teachers are giving homework to students which are based on

theory

. No doubt,

theory

gives knowledge and facts to pupils, but it does not guide them on how to utilise

this

knowledge in future.

For example

,if a teacher gives a written assignment to his class, and he does not highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the topic,

then

the students only focus on written

work

and do not gain anything from the topic. Another pivotal aspect is that in science subjects, practical

work

is very important.

For example

,if a medical student is trying to memorise the

theory

of an experiment, but his instructor does not tell him how to perform it, the student will completely fail in the future due to the lack of practical skills. Moving

further

, from the primary level to higher

education

, theories are the main source of information and practical

work

is completely ignored which causes a lot of damage to the infrastructure of the

education

system. To recapitulate, because of the aforementioned reasons, we may safely conclude that both

theory

and practical

work

is preponderant in

education

.
