Additionally, ability gaps between adults with various educational levels were observed in all nations.
For instance, in Singapore, tertiary-educated adults scored 48 points higher in literacy than those with lower tertiary education, who in turn scored 59 points higher than those with less than lower tertiary education.  ,
Singapore even observed that education skills started to decline at an earlier period, with similar changes observed in Hungary, South Korea, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia.
Most of the nations that took part in the study reported a decrease in education proficiency, but it added that the rate of the decline and the starting age differed.  ,
Singapore’s declining education rate may be a result of a demographic impact: younger cohorts have benefitted from major improvements over the years, with a higher percentage of them having at least a primary education, according to SSG.  ,
Employing skills at function and in daily life may be less strenuous than it was while in school, which could lead to abilities being honed over time, it added.  ,
SSG predicted that as employees get older and new needs for them to learn, there will also be spaces.  ,
SSG may continue to support people to continue to train and reskill, said Ms Pao, noting the S$ 4, 000 ( US$ 3, 000 ) SkillsFuture payment top-up for Singapore aged 40 and over.  ,
” Organizations are very important touch factors and configurations for individuals to continue developing their skills, to continue refining and developing their skills, because it must be done throughout living,” she continued.  ,
SSG will work closely with businesses to help them and advance their capacity to invest in the development and advancement of skills at work, according to Ms. Pao.  ,
In order to guarantee that there is quality industry-relevant information that people can use to stay current and stay dynamic, I believe this connection between business and skills development is crucial.
