More opportunities to upgrade through shorter courses for working adults

SINGAPORE - Working adults looking to upgrade their skills will find it easier to identify shorter courses offered by higher learning institutions that are relevant to their needs. Education Minister Chan Chun Sing said on July 9 that institutions will provide more information on these bite-sized courses, known as micro-credentials, which allow people to learn specific skills over a shorter period of time. This is “so that learners can make more informed decisions on what formal qualifications they can stack towards”, he said, speaking on efforts to make learning more accessible for adult learners. Such courses, which have gained momentum as individuals seek more flexible and job-focused qualifications, can be accumulated and stacked towards full degrees. The number of such courses being taken up by learners has increased from 34,000 in 2019 to 42,000 in 2022, said Mr Chan, who was speaking at the SkillsFuture Forum 2024 held at the Lifelong Learning Institute in Paya Lebar. The event kicked off the annual SkillsFuture Festival, which is being held from July 9 to Aug 21.

Man confronts Jurong durian sellers, slaps one, challenges another to a fight

With the durian season in full swing, it is not uncommon to hear vendors shouting «offer offer» when you visit your local stall - but it seems not everyone is too happy about it. One man in Jurong East was seemingly so upset by durian sellers yelling those words that he confronted them. The incident was captured in two videos uploaded to Facebook group Complaint Singapore by user Steven Tan on Monday (July 8). «Don't anyhow say offer,» said the post. In the clips, each a minute long, a man can be seen sauntering over to a durian stall, shouting «offer». Going up to the people manning the stall, he angrily demands to know who had shouted «offer».  The sellers calmly replied that none of them did. The man continues to scream at them in Hokkien, before another man smoking a cigarette whispers something in his ear with a smile. The man, still agitated, pushes the other man aside, telling him to «scram» in Mandarin. He then confronts one of the sellers, jabbing his finger in his face as he complains about them shouting «offer».
