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?

There is a viewpoint regarding the learning subjects in all educational stages that students spend a lot acquiring not very applicable and efficient subjects

instead

of practical skills at all educational levels, including primary school, secondary school, and even university. I agree with

notion, and I am going to state comprehensively my reasons for my belief. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the more you learn about an issue, the broader your perspective concerning that issue;

, the more an individual spends time acquiring facts, the more his or her course of study will take time;

, that person enters the labour market later compared to his or her peers.

For example

, the veterinary medicine course in Iran takes seven years to finish,

although

this

course for a European student only takes five years to complete because in comparison with the Iranian veterinary medicine curriculum, they just study the most practical subjects, and some of their merely theoretical syllabi are omitted;

consequently

, a European vet enters the labour market sooner compared to his or her Iranian colleague.

Moreover

, learning more practical knowledge

of facts makes an individual more capable in the field of work since a remarkable amount of learning materials taught either at schools or universities have no importance in a person’s future field of work.

For example

, a Pakistani student has some mandatory syllabus regarding religion in the university, despite his or her field of study, and these courses take at least two terms to complete. Providing these courses are substituted with some practical and beneficial courses, the student mentioned above can be more creative, capable, and productive in his or her future career because he or she has spent more time learning beneficial materials.

To sum up

Linking Words

, concerning the materials taught in all levels of education, and the notion of whether they are in accordance with the learners’ practical capabilities, I agree with

this

viewpoint that they learn about facts a lot and believe that some of

information is not useful and better to be omitted from the learning curriculum for the reasons I have mentioned above.
