School or Skills?

[Unknown Op]

Skills all the way.

You'll always think these persons saying skills over school are so lazy that they don't want to go to school until you see a first class graduate on the streets with no good thing to show forth.

I really don’t know what you mean by skill all the way, in a common sense, and in a country that is well organized and in the western world, you’ll not find a graduate who doesn’t have a job, unless the so called graduate doesn’t want to work, I will always tell you that School is better than skill, because you need education to learn how to read and write, and education is more likely that you are building your future, but skill is quite good in the sense that if you don’t have a job you can be sustaining with your skill, But in a western world you will not see a graduate with a first class degree in the street, that can possibly happen in Africa most especially in Nigeria, And in the western world if you go to look for a job they will most likely ask for your degree and your resume, which is for people who are educated and not for skill holders, even in Nigeria and Africa they will ask you for degrees if you go to apply for most jobs, you’ll require a certificate of education to have a very lucrative job.

Schools are giving knowledge to the children which is basic for the children because it  will give more awareness to the children. Children are not happy to study and they want to play games and they want to enjoy life. People are doing progress with the knowledge because initial knowledge is important for everyone as people want to be knowledgeable person in life. Children are the future of the family and without knowledge they will be illiterate and we will see no educated person in our area. Skills are also important in life as we want comfort in life and car driving is need of that time because most of the people have car.Skills are requirement of everybody because these will give income to us and it is necessary to meet the expenses of us and we need to focus on that .

Majority of people will prefer skills, because some countries education system has failed completely compare in the past when some school will be training their students in the area of practical and still lecture them theory to understand the course very well. These days some people will graduated from school and still go back to learn skill before they will be able to master what they have study in school.

That is true, there are many first class graduate looking for where to submit their documents  for employment, and even though they submit to a particular vacancy in a company they will not call them for the Job than to employ their relative who don't have those kind of documents of first class. I have made up my mind that my children will acquire skills before entering higher institution, so that they will not be struggle to get a job like what some graduate are doing in their various town or city.

Everyone has their own opinion, but if we look at life, for some people education becomes necessary and for some skills, we cannot say that education is wrong or skills are wrong because both have their own weight in their place. This is the reason why education is not as we think, which is why some people think that at the time of employment, everything we have studied is not the same. It is necessary to get education because it is definitely useful in some place, which is why we cannot say that it is wrong, but some education is also based on luck. This is the weak foundation of this country that does not employ people who deserve it, due to which it becomes difficult for them to get skills because they have studied all their lives, so it is difficult for them to work hard.

By my assumptions, there are strong indications already that we are moving past an era where employers put educational qualifications at the fore front of their requirement for employment into certain positions, some employers now hold personal qualities such as skills possessed by the individual ahead of the school they went to and the degree they graduated with. First, I would like to ask, could this be a reflection of a failing educational system? My second question is that if you happen to be the employer here, which will you consider more, school or skills?

Yes you are right about that we are moving past an era but we can’t deny the fact that we still need education as if we will choose skill over school we will be uneducated as education makes or enhance the character of a person and but in the school the syllabus is bit extra means they still teach us some topics which are irrelevant to our practical life but education is very important from all the perspective.

If we will talk about the skills there are a lot of students which are not good in the education but still they have multiple skills they should be given a chance to prove their self.
 so we can’t choose one among education and skills, as both have their own pros.

It all depends on the type of business or services one renders.if the services requires making some records and calculations, you will need someone who is educated.if its only skills or crafts and nothing more.then skillful individuals will do that for you.but in all both works interchangable because a skilled individuals will needs some level of literacy to be able to discharge his/her work effectively likewise the educated person.
