Education and the development of skills

Though both are highly useful, I believe that education is more important than skill acquisition. What do you think about this in today's world, and which would you let your brother, sister, or kids to pursue?

Skills education is really needed in our lives, because education is to make us smarter, skills education is to sharpen our skills so we can survive, skills education is really needed for millennials because, if the skills are good then they can direct their life wherever they can because Skills are important both in work and in society.

In my opinion, education and skills cannot be separated, because they are in line and in harmony, both provide useful value for millennials, currently what is prioritized is our skills, followed by intelligence, it's useless to be smart but there are no skills at all, skills for Our need to look for a job doesn't necessarily have to be in an office job, if we have good skills we can design a job that can survive our daily lives.

I think you didn't define what message you want to past across very well because education is skill acquisition and same is skill acquisition a part of education. Except you are referring to the aspect of the kind of education where you only learn how to read and write and study courses that doesn't deal with practicals but only theory and oral teaching. When you are acquiring skill then you are also being educated at same time on that field. So it is same as the same thing if you don't mean only the formal aspect of learning letter writing, essay or exposition but if you are talking acquisition it is same as education.

Yes that speaks volume in my heart, there is no way you can separate education from practical why may don't see education as skill is the nature to which most of the third world countries handle educational systems, even in the skill acquisition where most practical is performed their is always a way of communication that is part of education in which many beliefs is mere skills not education, we forget that education is of different classes such as formal, informal etc education is not only reading and writing it also involved skill acquisition.

Typical example many who study mechanical engineering hard the skill of repairing many damaged parts if machine which one that don't go through school can acquire as skill through oral communication but their must be transition of knowledge which is called education in the process either as formal or informal.
In my opinion weather formal or informal no one is left out they two inseparable in the means of learning in which one can education is not far from this two process as it meaning is not only on ready and writing it involves practical which is also know as skill acquisition locally.

Education without the necessary skills related to the degree you graduate is wasted, on the other hand even if don't have any degree but skilled in anyway you can survive in this world at least and go on to make a successful entrepreneur based on the actual stats. So later is more necessary but one who is capable of reaching both has better chance to excel in the competitive world.

Education is good but it is not what one just need to rely on because you can't really get what you want in life which you need to also looking into things like having a skill. Backing education to the skill you have is also good, it gives you more advantage than others with the same skill with no good education.  These two things are good, like the world we found ourselves today you just need these two things to survive you can not rely only one.

Globally getting a job is very scares , it is just important to get a skil as an alternative to create job for yourself when it is difficult for you to get a job with your certificate.

I have seen many people after graduating from school, they will like to achieve some skills that will enable them to flow in the area of their field, so that they will become great in the future, and I have seen some people acquired skills to make wealth and return back to school to become a graduate.

I guess, education and skills are very important to humanity because you can use the two to achieve wealth which many people has achieved a lot of opportunities from education and skills from society.

Well, I will prefer education for my children because I know that after school they will surely get opportunity to get a good job that will make them great in the society.

I'd say it's the other way round. In the old days all that mattered for a young man was skills. With no skills you'd either become a beggar or die. It's more or less the same now.
Just think of a situation where you'd want to hire an employe. The job is for someone to be your translator and guide while you do business in a foreign country.
Would you choose someone who finished language and culture studies but never lived in that country, or a native who speaks your language well, was born and raised in the place where you're about to visit, but lacks higher education?

After I’ve come to know the relevancy of education and also skill acquisition, I will have to engage them to take part in both of them because it’ll both be beneficial to them. If you’re not successful with one, you can get to do the other for sustainability or even leverage on both of them. I have heard a lot of people saying that education is not useful anymore but that’s a big lie because what education can do for you you when you have it is immeasurable once you get to apply it where it’s most needed. Likewise skill acquisition is also important because it can always come through to suit in for you for the meantime or lifetime if you find a path to success through it than the education you acquired. In some areas, education can be mixed with skill acquisition to acquire maximum results.

I believe it is supposed to be an equilibrium between both education and skills, education is associated with the management one can have over the theory of whatever one is doing, while skills can be associated to the practice and the experience one is supposed to get in the field.

Education is a like a formerly, which is something good if one wishes to pursue a professional career in some formal and important field like engineering, medicine, high cuisine. You know, those are the type of jobs which one is supposed to hold a university degree, regardless one is already good without that piece of paper.
After the formalities are finished and one starts to get experience in the field, that is the phase one is supposed to take advantage to learn from other who have more experience than one and also from others who have the skills but unfortunately may not have the university degree.

So, of one has the chance to go to college and go through the formalities and the knowledge acquisition there, then fine. Otherwise, it is also an option to develop an skill and if possible later on take certification courses and classes, which are short and not as expensive as a college degree.

even though education is as important as skill acquisition, if we discuss the industrial sector, they will prefer people who are skilled compared to people who have higher education but minimal skills. because when people who have higher education are placed in industry, they need to learn more and adapt there, so it takes longer than people who already have skills and are ready to be placed anywhere with a lower adaptation time. this is why many companies now consider a person's skills rather than their education.

Of course, a combination of both is necessary for self-sufficiency as a human being. Education makes you aware of your humanity even as it acquires different skills. As per your choice whatever you want doctor, engineer or whatever. Education can make you aware of decent environment. However, I am talking about real education for you which can teach us humanity and enable us to build a beautiful society or country.

Competence is an inherent quality that you acquire even if you don't have enough education. It depends on the surrounding conditions like if a society does not reach the light of education they also survive and they grow crops for their livelihood, hunt animals and they learn to acquire skills.
In modern society without education and skills you are almost immobile because your survival depends on these two basic elements. You definitely don't want to be dependent.

both of them are very important because not every person is destined to make money through education and not everyone is destined to make money through a skill acquisition so anyone supposed to notice it career at a tender age not when you have grown to the extent of being adult is when you notice your career I think it is very bad and it's not good for someone to be following things that is not where prepare to bring out it future.. education does not necessarily give us the future we need not you to also make you to be large and thinking and they understand them but skill may give you quick money more than education

Education and skills acquisitions have one thing in common, they're both achieved by learning, one is in the four walls of a classroom, the other can be anywhere online or offline. They're both very important, education is a basic foundation for everybody, you need to be educated to learn how to read and write, broaden your view on general studies and in tertiary education, you'll understand very deeply about the concepts of your course, education gives you more opportunities to work in established companies. Skills acquisition makes a person to become a professional in their chosen field of work, and people who acquired skills can easily become self employed than very educated people who will be looking for white collar jobs.

Due to the high rate of unemployment in many countries, I think that if a person can get the least basic education, then skills acquisitions is better, because he can become self employed.

[oktana]

I’ll let my kids to pursue both. I mean, if there’s a debate about both, why not just have both? But if one could choose only one option, development of skill is a better option. The world we see today is not a result of just education. It is a result of practical education.

While you’re teaching other kids about how to fix a car in a classroom, I’d rather have my kid be fixing the car and having experience because it’s not always about what you studied. In most cases, it is about what you can do.

I believe I concur with you because certain courses you can take call for a certain ability. For instance, engineering, architecture, etc. These professional courses demand high caliber abilities since an engineer overseeing a project needs to be well-versed in numerous engineering disciplines, such as carpentry, in order to guarantee quality work.

[AVE5]

Let's understand that education is a setup field to acquire foundation potentials to enlightenment probably on a theoretical out sketch while skills is the structural ability to caption and practically actualize a specific given application.

That's just to say both put cordially in one basket would enhance professionalism and in that fact, I can't afford to underate any of it regarded that they can be depended upon to produce industrious carriers.

Why not encourage someone maybe even yourself to have both education and skill.

I think education lays a good framework as you get to learn about the fundamentals as well as theories of a specific concept but skills is what would push you to the limit and really let you reach your best self. So in my opinion the best option would be to have both especially if you have a chance to have both.

[Essential10]

I think education and skills are very important for personal and professional growth. If you have both education and skills you can easily get ahead in life. See if education and skills are separate then you cannot progress fully in life. You may have majored in one subject or field in your education but in today's fast-paced job market, employers are placing more emphasis on skills than on your degree. Companies are looking for candidates who can hit the ground running and make an immediate impact, not just relying on the theoretical knowledge gained through a degree program. Education and practical skills are essential for catching up with the next generation and the future because both will propel you to the highest level of success.

Your question is which is better securing a college degree or acquiring technical or vocational skills? The answer will depend on the interest or talent of the individual. The financial resources available to an individual will also affect his choice. Some people are good at conventional academic pursuits and are qualified to pursue courses like medicine, law, engineering, nursing, etc. These people can enrol in universities and study to become professionals especially if they have sponsors or financial backup.

Some individuals don't have any interest in college degrees. They are proficient in vocational or technical skills. Many of them might not be able to read or write but are gifted in other skills that benefit society. Some individuals don't have the financial capacity to seek higher education, they can decide to acquire vocational skills instead of wasting their time seeking money to go to school. In summary, I will advise my child, brother or sister to pursue the area in which they have an interest and the capacity to excel.
