Schools are spending more time teaching traditional subjects such as history. Some people think they should rather spend more time teaching skills that can help students find a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

There is an argument that

history

matters are taught most of the time in educational institutions. Some individuals believe that would be more effective for pupils to learn professional abilities

instead

, in order to help them in their professional careers. I partially agree with

such

a point of view because, even though learning about important

work

skills at school can help a person to deal with possible job challenges, studying

history

also

is crucial, since it improves

this

type of population.

Consequently

, there is a possibility to adjust students’ behaviour toward daily activities.

For instance

, it is estimated that around 4 out of 10 public schools in Brazil, take pupils to visit national museums, which results in a more effective learning process and a unique experience lived by them.

On the other hand

, challenging situations at

can be easier to manage once it has been learned in a specialised course,

the fact that it simulates the

teens are more prepared to deal with stressful and high-demand situations in their employment. To illustrate, it is known that, those juveniles that already have been exposed to a previous

work

training course at school, showed more adaptability to

this

environment, which results in high performance at the job and personal fulfilment by them.

To conclude

, I do believe that

history

and

work

skills, both learned at school, are important to raise personality

as well as

improve youngsters' behaviour.

However

,

this

decision should be made by the students themselves,

according to

each necessity to supply personal achievements.
