Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 3: Choo Pei Ling on new agency for lifelong learning
Lifelong learning must translate into real mobility, not just participation. What ultimately matters are longer term wage growth, employment stability and the quality of skills job-matching. With the merger of SkillsFuture Singapore and Workforce Singapore, a single agency simplifies the journey for the learner, jobseeker and worker. But sometimes policy priorities diverge. As the new agency will report to both the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Manpower, how can decision gridlocks be prevented? MP Choo Pei Ling raised this question in parliament on Monday (Mar 2).
