Some people think that schools have to be more entertaining, while others think that their sole purpose is to educate. Which do you agree with?

To begin
, some people who think more traditionally believe that the only purpose of conducting
schools
is to provide education to the children. There is no doubt that
schools
are there to educate, in my point of view I believe that it is not the only purpose of having them.
Firstly
, nowadays
schools
are mainly focusing on teaching theories and passing exams rather than improving soft and cognitive skills.
For instance
, at present everyone is running after materialistic wealth and goods
therefore
, rather than gaining more knowledge, obtaining titles and passing tests with flying colours have become more prominent.
Moreover
, there are several suicidal cases worldwide
due to
higher workload and exam pressure at certain
schools
.
However
,
according to
my idea,
schools
are not there to give book-based knowledge only.
additionally
, younger kids tend to learn considerably by going through different entertaining activities.
For example
, people cannot learn how to work in a team or lead a group of people by reading or writing thousands of books.
Furthermore
, men and women spend a significant number of years studying at colleges
therefore
, it is very much important to empower them by improving both soft and hard skills through entertainment. All children should take part in sports apart from regular subjects.
To conclude
, the sole reason for having
schools
is not to provide education only but
also
to build up strong and balanced personalities for the betterment of society.
Therefore
, these systems should be evolved based on the current requirement.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
