THE government provides about S$400 million each year in direct training subsidies for lifelong learning, with up to 40 per cent of that amount going towards supporting training that's initiated by individuals.
The money comes from the Ministry of Education and one of its statutory boards, SkillsFuture Singapore, said Education Minister (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung in parliament on Tuesday.
