The push for micro-credentials in Singapore: What are they and are they for you? - Jalelah Abu Baker, CNA

These courses, called micro-credentials, are already being offered by Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs), but will be improved, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing said on Tuesday (Jul 9) at the SkillsFuture Forum 2024. He cited numbers showing that they are popular: The number of completed micro-credential courses increased from 34,000 in 2019 to 42,000 in 2022.  The providers, which include polytechnics, universities and Institutes of Technical Education (ITEs), will standardise the naming of such courses. They are also working on how to make micro-credentials recognisable across institutions.  More micro-credentials are set to be developed, especially on skills in emerging areas, including in collaboration with industry.
