Some people think that qualities a person needs to become successful in today's world cannot be learned at universities or similar academic institutions. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is growing sentiment today that some important factors

cannot be learned at university or similar academic institutions. From my point of view, I strongly disagree with those because that qualities stills be taught in some schools. Some people make the pragmatic argument that some necessary

as communication

, leadership, solving problems,etc which are not taught in

. In academic institutions, teacher only teaches their
students
about academic subjects
such
as Math, History, Chemical, Physical,etc. Without a study programme, they do not teach them

For example
