Some people say that in all levels of educations, 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?

There are those who have the view that from the entire
education
 period, from the initial
stage
 to the advanced
stage
, students spend too much time studying
facts
, thereby causing the insufficiency of studying practical methods.
While
 educational institutions spend time on teaching
facts
, I disagree with the view as there are a lot of changes in
education
 systems worldwide, having more real activities.
To begin
, the curriculum in the initial
stage
 of
education
, including primary school and secondary school, has been significantly changed for a couple of decades, which previously focused on learning
facts
 and histories, as knowledge was deemed as the key to developing children's intelligence.
However
,
due to
 the immense advancement in digitalisation, the recent initial
education
 curriculum engages more practical
skills
,
such
 as computer programming and presentation, which prioritise enhancing the information management
skills
 of young people.
Subsequently
,
for example
, students' timetables in these schools change to increase pragmatic lessons in Japan.
Moreover
, regarding advanced
education
,
such
 as college and university, the opportunity for practical lessons has immensely increased, compared to a few decades ago.
For example
, a large number of companies offer internship work programs to students, thereby enabling meaningful actual work, starting the first
stage
 of their career.
This
 opportunity can lead to the effective development of their practical business
skills
 like accounting, presentation, discussion and issue management. In summary, I wholeheartedly believe that all levels of
education
 have a significant progress worldwide, from prioritising learning
facts
 and methods to increasing real experiences to enhance young individuals'
skills
 in more practical and digitalised formats.
This
 transition would be crucial to developing our economy by establishing innovative businesses and tackling a lot of social problems by analysing an enormous number of
facts
 and information.
