Write about the following topic:

In some countries in Europe, some children from the age of 11 or 13 go to schools to learn more practical skills that will help them get a job. Other children stay in schools which provide a more general academic education. What should schools do to prepare students for the world of work?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Sample Answer


There is a growing trend of children attending vocational schools from the age of 11 or 13 in Europe. While some believe that such schools enable children to learn practical skills that help them get a job, others feel that an academic education is more important. This essay explores the context behind the two schools of thought and tries to frame an ideal solution for it.

There is no doubt that a solid academic education is critical to secure the future of children. A strong schooling culture not only instils discipline in children but also helps them to shape their thinking and improves learning ability which is extremely valuable in life. Besides, elementary knowledge of all subjects must compete in this challenging world.

However, we must understand that not all children are academically oriented. It is best to encourage such children to start learning a vocation early to prepare them to earn their living. Giving them an early start is essential to excel in their field and have enough time to explore other options.

I believe schools can provide a perfect blend of both these situations. Introducing vocational subjects like carpentry, fashion designing, automotive courses etc. will allow young minds to discover alternate career options while giving the comfort of a school environment. Specially designed tests can assess a student’s inclination to a particular skill. Besides, the vocation courses can be tailored to fit the requirements of particular students.
