Students should be taught academic knowledge so that they can pass exams, and skills such as cooking or dressing should not be taught. To what extent do you agree/disagree?
The issue of deciding what should go on academic curricula has been hotly debated, with some arguing that time would be better spent preparing for the exams with no time wasted on other skills such as cooking or dressing. Personally, I believe that the purpose of education is to develop children’s potential, and this would mean teaching them not only academic subjects but also life skills.
