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?

If it is said to be a failure it may not be entirely true, but everyone should hone their skills to make it easier for them to adapt. If education is good and the skills they have are sufficient, it will be much easier for everyone to get a job and I think both are very important. But if the question is categorized in general, then we need to first examine what kind of job sector we provide so that skill qualifications and diplomas can be a suitable reflection for people to work.

I know that almost most people might choose skills over school in giving jobs to others, because sometimes the skills that people have are not affiliated with schools. This depends on the needs of the job and if skills are prioritized, then there is nothing wrong with it, but it is much better when both are fulfilled in people.
