SkillsFuture Singapore and the Institute for Adult Learning organised the inaugural Global Lifelong Learning Summit (GLLS) 2022 today, which continues tomorrow. The GLLS brings together academics, leaders of international organisations, industry captains and government administrators all over the world to discuss how different stakeholders can build a lifelong learning system that is relevant and effective.

Senior Minister Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the Guest-of-Honour at the GLLS, spoke on the need to build a lifelong learning system which ensures progress for everyone, especially the blue-collar and non-professional white-collar workers, the mid-career workers as well as the SME workers. He outlined three key planks for a successful lifelong learning system:
• the need to anticipate the demand for skills and apply to training content and courses
• the need to aggregate the information across various adult learning platforms
• for the new system to embrace a wider range of credentials and qualifications
