The issue of whether, at all levels of education, from primary school to college,
students
 spend more on learning
facts
 outweigh on learning practical
skills
 is of great interest to many people. From my point of view, I completely agree with the view that
students
 or educators should find a balance between learning
facts
 and practice. On the one hand, the option to learn practical and
theory
skills
 is attractive for several reasons. Many
students
 can learn comprehensive knowledge from both of these
skills
. In
this
 way, they can become independent, and they will be able to deal with some issues by themself from practical
experience
 or
theory
 class. In terms of their study careers,
students
 decide to learn
skills
 through
theory
 or practical
skills
. They will have chances to achieve much more when they join the company.
This
 may lead to them creating more opportunities when during the interviews.
On the other hand
, I believe that it is more beneficial to learn knowledge through
theory
 and practical
skills
.
Firstly
, practical classes are required in many institutes.
For example
, it is impossible to become a good chef without any practical
experience
.
As a result
, to a certain extent learning practical
skills
 is more important than
theory
 because when people start to find a job, HR needs to ask them for
experience
 in
this
 job. Not what did you learn from
theory
 class?
Secondly
, the jobs market has become increasingly competitive, and if you do not have enough practical
experience
, you will not be able to certain extent accept. In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that
students
 are more likely to be successful in their careers if they learn
facts
 and practicals. They will be beyond those who only study
facts
 or practicals.
