    A very good evening to all of my dear classmates and mr

    Sherman. I am the first speaker on behalf of my team


    which will be proposing on the topic schools are not
    equipping students with the skills to succeed in the
    workplace. There are two main things that we do in life,
    one is learning and the other is work .To work we need
    to ensure we possess the right skills for it. Learning is the
    main goal for students and if they don’t learn the right
    skills and methods they wont be able to succeed in the
    workplace. In schools we learn using textbooks, If we
    solely depend on these textbooks to become successful
    in the workplace, it will not work. The main reason for
    that is they teach us about knowledge that they had
    gained through experience , while this may be good but
    it’s not something to depend on to make us successful.
    What schools don’t teach you are real life skills that can
    be applicable in the workplace and only stick to textbook
    learning. I am talking about business studies , negotiation
    , self-assesment etc . Schools don’t focus on the
    important stuff instead they expect us to work with the
    knowledge they had during their times. With the rapid
    change in job industries its becoming harder and harder
    to equip children with skills to be successful if relying on
    the old teaching methods. Most schools teach maths ,
    science , English , language 2 , social science or
    commerce.the workplace requires practical skills ,
    problem solving skills and soft skils . Most schools never
    teach their students these important skills. Nearly three
    quarters of young people ages 15 to 24 in 92 countries
    with available data are off-track to acquire skills needed
    for employment , according to a news report published
    today by the education commission and Unicef , and
    supported by generation unlimited ahead of world youth
    skills day .

    A study by Mitchell institute report says collaborating


    with the industry and the community is vital to better
    prepare the children and young people for future work
    and life . Jobs in the digital age, and the skills and
    capabilities required to do them are transforming at an
    unprecedented rate . This is one of the major factors for
    why school aren’t equipping school with enough skills to
    help students succeed . Schools therefore need to make
    sure children have exposure to the world of work .
    Outdated teaching methods is a point that I would like to
    bring to this debate . Many teachers like to think that
    students will understand concepts and theories the way
    they did therefore they use the same methods that were
    used on them to help them understand concepts
    however this may not always be true and can cause
    students to not understand certain important concepts
    which may be essential in workplace . Just because a
    notion is popular doesn’t make it true . A recent review
    of the scientific literature on learning styles found scant
    evidence to clearly support the idea that outcomes are
    best when instructional techniques align with individual
    learnings styles . In fact there are several studies that
    contradict this belief . It is clear that people have a strong
    sense of their own learning preferences . Therefore
    relying on old teaching techniques is a part of why
    students aren’t being equipped with enough skills to
    make them succeed in the workplace
