Today I am going to talk about whether schools should teach students practical skills like cooking or first aid or not. To begin with, the importance of learning both practical as well as academic skills is really crucial nowadays in order to have the requirements for a great job in the future. For instance, when I was at the Pre-KG I learned how to manage any problems or also I learned coding which improved my skills now in the ICT subject. and I became one of the top students in academic learning when it comes to ICC. Another point that is worth mentioning is why it might not be a great idea to learn practical skills at school. This is because many schools say that academic knowledge is much more essential than practical skills. This is because academic subjects are more essential for many careers. Fields like medicine, law and engineering rely heavily on theoretical understanding. Lastly, it’s better to learn practical skills from parents. This is because parents are more aware of the cons and pros in their children, so they are aware what they need to enhance and what they do not need. In conclusion, I firmly believe that schools should equip students with employable skills because many graduates struggle because they lack hands-on experience in the future.
