Enlightened companies crucial to success of expanded work-study pathway: Ong Ye Kung

FRANKFURT - Education Minister Ong Ye Kung called for more"enlightened self-interest" from Singapore companies on Friday , as the Ministry of Education ramps up company-driven workplace learning for students.

He added:"And if I don't, I must have the enlightened self-interest to think that training these students and letting them go out to the industry is better on the whole, because then more people will know about my products and the quality of my production." Around 600 trainees are expected to begin training under ITE's 24 work-study diplomas next year, with 268 companies working with ITE for the 2020 intake.

"In times of change and uncertainty, you have to go back to basics, which are the core competencies... The best people to teach that sometimes is the industry, the people undergoing all these changes," he said.
