Read the texts about lifelong learning in Australia and Singapore. Answer the questions that follow.

Australia has an education system that encourages lifelong learning and recognises both formal and informal learning. This form of education has been developed to increase individual income and employment security. It has also helped businesses and organisations to be more competitive and to keep up with global development. As a result, Australia is becoming one of the leading countries in the world. In general, Australians believe that pursuing lifelong learning will help them to get a good job and meet employers' demands.

With the aim of building the future and strengthening social security, the Singaporean government has built a modern and friendly environment for lifelong learning. Lifelong learning can also help amend some of the weaknesses of the education system. Singapore has launched a project, designed to update the knowledge and develop the skills needed by industries. Consequently, a good lifelong learner could advance at work and in life. Starting with the workforce, the government has created initiatives and programmes for employees to improve their job relevant skills. This is one part of the lifelong Skills Future scheme, which will enable all Singaporeans to actively take responsibility for their learning throughout their lives by attending various courses.
