meaning of the words value and skill

[anne maria]

Dear teachers,
i have writing assignment: do you agree or disagree with this statement: education should focus on skill, not value?
but i am not exactly sure the meaning of the word '' value" and ''skill'' can you explain it to me.
thank you very much

I don't know what 'value' means here either. 'Skill' I presume means ability to perform occupational tasks well.
