Singaporeans enrol in short online courses that are relevant to their careers

More Singaporeans are signing up for short online courses that are relevant to their careers. Courses that are popular with Singapore learners include those leading to certificates in data analytics and project management from tech giants such as Google and IBM.

These programmes are known as micro-credentials because they are of shorter duration. They take only three to 12 months to complete and are recognised by industries.

Micro-credentials are becoming more popular as working adults see the value of shorter and more flexible online programmes that are more job-focused.

Under SkillsFuture, every Singaporean aged 25 and above was given an initial $500 in credits in 2015. These can be used to acquire new skills or improve existing ones. Since 2021, more than 1,300 Singaporeans have used their SkillsFuture credits for subscriptions for bite-size micro-learning courses

Mid-career workers in Singapore face job disruption, require upskilling

SkillsFuture Singapore released a report, The Skills Demand For The Future Economy report, which stated that mid-career workers in Singapore mostly hold the five kinds of jobs that are experiencing disruption, namely, operations and administration, sales, marketing and customer service, human resource, finance and accounting, and engineering and technology.

It is important for workers to think about upskilling or reskilling to stay versatile or take on new opportunities. Upskilling refers to learning additional skills to move into other roles within the same family of jobs, while reskilling is learning new skills to move into a role in a different job family.

The report also details several ways for mid-career workers to upgrade their skills to move into roles that are becoming more popular. For example, mid-career workers in sales, marketing and customer service already have skills that can be applied in similar but more popular roles.

Fresh graduates are more open or exposed to technological developments, including video-conferencing apps such as Zoom, to manage hybrid or flexible work, so this can also give them an advantage in the workplace.

A total of 211 universities from 32 countries were included in the list. Nanyang Technological University was ranked 40th.

Two specialised schools, Crest and Spectra Secondary, will continue to offer the Normal (Technical) course after other secondary schools do away with it in 2024. By 2024, most secondary schools will offer full subject-based banding, which groups students according to their strengths in different subjects. This will replace the Normal and Express streams.

Crest and Spectra Secondary are schools that cater to students who thrive on hands-on learning. They both run programmes that covers academic and vocational subjects. The schools prepare their students for progression to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), as they graduate with both the ITE Skills Subject Certificate and the GCE N(T)-level certificate.

Lower-secondary students get to take taster modules from vocational disciplines, such as mobile Web applications, mechanical design and automation, and Internet of Things applications. Both schools also offer an industry experiential programme to their Secondary 3 cohort, which starts with students applying for internships, attending interviews and then reporting for work at various companies during the school holidays.

The school found out that the test paper had been put up online on the student learning platform prior to the test.

Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who is also Coordinating Minister for Social Policies, has said that Singapore workers can benefit from a new lifelong learning system designed to ensure progress for everyone.

He placed special emphasis of three groups of workers, including blue-collar and non-professional white-collar workers, mid-career workers, and those working in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

In outlining his vision of the system, Mr Tharman identified three key planks for the framework. First, it needs to pull together and even anticipate the demand for skills across the whole economy. The system must also recognise and serve the differing motivations of individuals and companies Second, the new system must avoid fragmentation, in that the system must find a way to aggregate or bring together these platforms and the information on them. Third, the new system must evolve to embrace a wider view of credentials or qualifications,

In the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranking of Asia’s universities, the National University of Singapore came in second.

Nanyang Technological University was awarded the fifth spot in the list. NTU also was placed ninth regionally for academic reputation.

This year’s QS Asia Rankings are the include 760 universities, evaluated based on several factors, including academic and employer recognition, research, resources and the proportion of international faculty and students.

QS senior vice-president Ben Sowter said: “Singaporean higher education has much to be proud of. For nearly a decade, it dominated the top tier of QS’ Asia University Rankings, holding two of the top three spots and retaining the No. 1 position – occupied by NUS or NTU. Despite this year’s slight decline, both its leading institutions are among Asia’s top five.”

Number of primary school pupils applying to secondary schools through direct admissions has been rising

According to the Ministry of Education, the number of primary school pupils applying to secondary schools through direct admissions has been rising.

Mrs Tan, who is also a deputy director-general at MOE, said that this is a result of encouraging schools to offer direct school admissions across the education landscape.

Direct School Admission is a programme that allows primary school pupils to apply to secondary schools before the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) on the merit of their unique abilities in areas such as sports and creative writing, as well as academic subjects like science and the humanities.

At a webinar aimed at explaining to parents the new PSLE scoring system, which came into effect in 2021, various school principals discussed school choices and took questions on topics such as how to tell if a child is suitable for the Integrated Programme, a six-year through-train programme some schools offer where students skip the O-level exams.
