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?

Some people think that most part of educational schemes, from schools to universities, investigate the learning

time

on theoretical

skills

rather than practical ones. I agree with

this

argument. In some people’s minds, we have spent most of our

time

learning

facts

and theories, starting from early school to graduation from university. In fact, our learning process begins by dealing with numbers and

and continues with advanced

facts

as we get older, we are all surrounded by too many

facts

without learning any practical

.

For instance

, there are lots of

facts

we learned from science at school without enough hands-on practice at skill labs. Indeed, our educational system has been concentrated on the theoretical ways to learn. Needless to say, being familiar with all of these

facts

are essential requirement for future life and career. In fact, based on the lack of infrastructure and

in the educational system, they have been

In other words

helps students to become familiar with different subjects for their future.

For example

, teaching

facts

of science in 5th grade takes 200 hours,

however

, it takes 1000 hours to practice all the practical

skills

which is obviously impossible to spend

this

time

on each subject. In conclusion, I believe our educational system is spending most of the

time

learning

facts

and I think it is impossible to spend more on practical

skills
