Too much emphasis is placed on going university for academic education. People should be encouraged to do vocational training, because there is a lack of qualified tradespeople such as electricians or plumbers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Education is becoming an integral part of human 

life

 in the 

last

 decade. Unfortunately,public perspective on 

education

 is more about academics rather than vocational training while both play the same importance in our 

life

. Personally, I agree that we should encourage people to choose vocational training for some reason. 

Applying to a profession needs a certain educational qualification for some reason. Passing through years of academic 

education

 enhance our theoretical and practical knowledge in our field of interest. 

Additionally

, university 

classes

 encourage their students to do research and prove something in the scientific process while 

this

 will not be available without academic 

education

. 

For instance

, any person can put braces on someone's teeth but only a dentist that has passed the certification knows how to get the braces in a proper position. 

Hence

, people view academic 

education

 as a critical 

life

 phase. 

Meanwhile, vocational training becomes underrated even though it is needed to support human needs. In my personal view, vocational 

classes

 should be more appreciated since we don't need to spend years to get certification and these 

classes

 only train their students for some certain skills. 

Furthermore

, these skills will not be well-trained without vocational training as it is not available in academic 

classes

 like universities. 

For example

, both cooking and nutrition 

classes

 learn about cooking but a nutritionist is not trained to cook delicious food but healthy food. 

thus

, for some reason, we 

also

 need to think more about taking vocational training. 

In conclusion, even if academic 

education

 looks is more overrated, there are some critical arguments for us to choose vocational training. Both of them will give different output as professions that will help our 

life

 needs.
