MPs hail SkillsFuture but raise concerns
Singapore
THE SkillsFuture movement has the potential to be the "secret weapon" in Singapore's arsenal as the country aims to keep its competitive edge in a changing global landscape. This was the view of Liang Eng Hwa, chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Finance and Trade and Industry, as he kicked off a three-day debate on this year's budget.
SkillsFuture is a long-term effort to provide Singaporeans the opportunity to reach their full potential through training, regardless of their starting points in academic qualifications or professional experience.
