Dear Yzh It's actually quite a bad sentence, mainly because of the use of "encourage". It would make better sense with "consider" instead. The use of "as" here is for a comparison.

Dear Yzh
It's actually quite a bad sentence, mainly because of the use of "encourage". It would make better sense with "consider" instead. The use of "as" here is for a comparison. These would be better, in my view:
"We consider that practical skills and scholarship are equally important."
"We encourage students to consider practical skills and scholarship as equally
