Some people say that in all levels of education, from primary schools to universities, too much time is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skills. Do you agree or disagree?

high level is based on theoretical facts as compared to giving emphasis on hand on experiences. I agree that the sole aim of schools is to graduate
students
with good grades without considering the importance of learning through different practical experiences.  Report cards have been given immense importance throughout the learning age and even during job-finding days.

judged from it, and to achieve desired

, the maximum of
time
must be spent on learning by the
students
.
Moreover
,
while
applying for a job, you are required to submit a
marks
sheet which plays important role in making the final decision. So, in the race for good
marks
especially
students
and institutions are more focused towards theoretical parts.
However
, schools have arrangements of practical classes for learners but the
time
given for
this
type of class is very less.
For example
, a period is of thirty minutes and from which theory
time
is twenty minutes and practical
time
will be only 10 minutes. Practical classes consider fun class
as well as
a waste of
time
because it does not help to score well
according to
some. 
Additionally
, the distribution of the
marks
sheet is 80% learning facts and only 20% consists of practicals. Which clearly reflects the agenda of the schools and universities. In conclusion, it is true institutions are recline towards more learning things
instead
of inculcating skills in
students
. As they are not giving them enough
time
at school to work on practicals on what they have learned so far. School schedules should be divided into half theoretical and half practical, which
further
will have a great positive impact on grades.
