New national centre to be responsible for lifelong learning, adult education in Singapore

Authorities are looking at ways to encourage adults to pursue lifelong learning. This potentially includes giving training allowances, or providing more subsidies through SkillsFuture credits. All this to support mid-career workers, who are more vulnerable to retrenchment and may require continued learning to stay employable. Education Minister Chan Chun Sing announced that the Institute for Adult Learning will be designated the National Centre of Excellence for Adult Learning. The centre will expand its focus to include research into best practices for teaching adults.
