Having educated and skilled citizens is more important for economic development.

[Sarah Jordan]

What the economy needs are creative individuals who will add value to the economy by what they have to offer to the public. Skill is good because no matter how we put it, there are some fields that needs skillful people to carry out the jobs online or offline. Education is very important but it's not a guarantee to put food on your table.

you're very correct on this education is important and also having a skill is more important because it adds value to one.

[Sarah Jordan]

Yes both are important. Being educated and skilled are both important in the society for economy growth. We need educated and skilled people in different field like electricians, cobblers, builders, etc. Without being skilled or educated things won't function and there won't be economy growth.

The poor economy of most countries is attributed to lack of skills and also corruption is a major obstacle to the development of a country. The citizens of the country try to live a good life, but the lack of resources in the country and the lack of efficient administration are more responsible for the increase in poverty in that country. Just because some countries are geographically poor it is not always right to blame the government for the economic decline of the country. How successful a country can be economically depends on the amount of resources. If a country has a lot of mineral resources, then with proper management that country can become a developed country but in most cases it is seen that the governments of the concerned countries do not do any effective work to eliminate poverty of the people.

In most countries with weak economies the governments are more corrupt, so they use criminals to retain power and want to retain power by intimidating the citizens. Creating skilled manpower through the development of the country's education system should be the main priority of a country's government so that an educated society is created which is most important for the development of a country. And to become economically strong, it should be the main responsibility of the country's government to educate the nation properly and use it for the development of the country.

     Having educated and skilled citizens is very important for the development of every country because a skilled population creates innovation, creates room for creativity thereby leading to long term economic growth. The citizens are able to make reformed growth, improving the quality of life,creating better governance because its citizens are able to make good decisions and deliver better leadership.

With education and skills, citizens are able to swiftly adapt to technological changes and innovations thereby leading to greater productivity and maintaining long term economical growth, this also helps to empower them with more healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Well skilled and educated citizens are indeed a positive drive to sustainable economic development.

Economic development doesn't entirely rely on citizen output but government input. Educated and skilled citizens cannot develop an economy if there is a slack in Infrastructural development, Transport networks, Government support fund for low-scale business and so on

No matter how educated and skilled citizens can be, there will be no significance in economic development without the government playing it's vital role.

Both of them work together for the purpose of development of a country.you cannot differential them by saying one is better than the other. But again, skills develop an economy faster than educated ones. The informal sector is filled with skilled people who drive the economy faster. Although having skills and education together is good but the skilled or craft men drive the economy faster. Take a good look at the developed nations, skilled people are the ones driving their economy. Look at the developing countries, it's all about acquiring education neglecting skills or what we call handwork.

I will totally agree with you on the fact that the economy also needs creativity from the citizens, since the system right now doesn't guarantee that education can be the only means of survival,
Education as we all know builds knowledge and confidence, but skill acquisition is what turns the knowledge into something profitable and useful, so it is advisable that in as much as people go into different schools to study they should have a skill to support their selves. I will use Nigerian as an example, if u look closely and watch you will notice that most people who are on the top and finicialy stable are either business men or people with skills.
So yes education is good but skill acquisition and being creative also add alot and could even be a persons means to success.

Having both educated and skilful people is a major pivotal for economics growth, the Bible said seesth a man diligent in his business, he will stand before king's, it takes men and women of calibre do build a nation and not caword, we need educated people to interpret the paper work at the expense of their knowledge and we need skilful men and craft people to execute project , having these men and women of calibre onboard like China did we are good to go.
