Ang Wei Neng: Issue university degrees with a validity of five years to encourage lifelong learning

[since1976]

A typical Singaporean has many commitment. Will be nice to concentrate on studies pushing all commitment aside.

Flip prata meaning lying. Time for COP

 

[Shinji.Ikari]

To be fair to him, that's not what he meant. If u break down what he said and listen carefully, he is saying he wants degree holders to do compulsory lifelong learning every 5 years. And he went on to say we have to be radical in our approach to ensure this happens and don't just pay lip service and he simply cited a 'poor' example of what he meant by radical i.e setting an expiry date to degrees.

Actually what’s wrong with his suggestion? He obviously doesn’t mean it seriously. But his point is that keep talking about lifelong learning but not doing anything is useless

Mean he is just another parrot of his master.

 

[jeffprobst]

he need to go recourse la. invisibly his degree already obsolete since he can put up such stupid suggestion. pay so much but put suggestion to screw people.

 

[jeffprobst]

If degrees have expiry dates, does it apply to locals only and foreigners exempted?

they only can control local degree reh.

Food for thought.. sheet for brains...

Few things.
The ceca FW may not have better skills to begin with.
In terms of upgrading, it is a individual choice.
There is no need to whip the livestock to do it.
That is too much interference.

What is discussed in the House is serious.
So, you cannot tell lies.
And also not to suggest any stupid ideas.

Overall, I’ve seen a lot of high quality FTs applying for jobs here. There are low quality ones for sure but that’s not the point. I only have one position open and I choose the best. And FTs can easily swamp us with numbers.

that’s why sinkies don’t have a choice but to upgrade and compete against the best in the world.

it’s a cruel process because no other countries are subjected to this kind of worldwide competition. But unfortunately this is the price of living here

 

[PaulLevesque]

Knn say one thing and test response

Response good = implement and take credit
Response not good = flip flip flip away

Finally got one PAP guy that dares to think out of the box and tio kan by conservative sinkies

 

[jack-320]

Looks like his cert is really expired

go to uptron, no need to worry about expiry date

 

[Matjes]

I will give him benefit of the doubt and assume that he’s not serious about the actual suggestion.

however it is also true that our workforce needs to upgrade skills and many are not motivated to do it.

how like that? Just wait for Indians FTs with better skills to come in and replace us?

Giving him the benefit of the doubt is as stupid as believing GST won't increase when they said only reckless spending will lead to it. Given the power, he WILL PUSH FOR IT!

I dun disagree with you.
As I highlighted, it is a personal choice.
There is no need to force it like the snake oil.

 

[guile]

He obviously succeeded in shifting attention away from other more pressing issues.

 

[satayxp]

[marksnow44]
