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?
Education itself is a skill, it depends what part of the educational skills you wish to learn so as to make it your career. Education is the broad form that accommodates every sector in life, both the formal and informal sector are all encompass in education. So you're ability to learn a particular skill, makes that skill the part of education you've learnt, however education is not only about reading and writing, it serves as an avenue for you be understand others skills you would want to learn easily. So for me, I would prefer for any of my relative to have both formal education and informal skillful education that they might want to use later in the future or pursue as a career.
