Education Minister (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung has said that the adult education sector – which play a crucial role in building up a skilled workforce – has to upgrade itself constantly.

A five-year transformation plan was recently unveiled to refresh and raise the continuing education and training system in Singapore.

Called the Training and Adult Education Sector Transformation Plan, the scheme is implemented in line with the national SkillsFuture movement to keep pace with the changing needs of the economy.

The recommendations include measuring if training meets workplace performance outcomes, refreshing the learning infrastructure to support innovation, and upgrading the educators’ skills.
