Education Minister Lawrence Wong has said that graduates from institutes of higher learning will need to embrace learning during their working lives as well.
IHLs should not attempt to front-load an excessive amount of knowledge during the formal years of studies. Instead, we can stretch out education and learning with regular injects throughout the person’s career.
Individuals can attend training by their companies, or programmes offered by third parties and the IHLs, leading to qualifications such as a specialist diploma.
The IHLs must support individuals’ pursuit of active learning throughout their careers, the minister added.
