NLB to reconsider Udemy Business for Education and Sustainability
The Issue
As a society with a strong desire for continuous learning and upskilling, we believe that the incorporation of Udemy Business into our educational resources can greatly benefit us. This is not just a personal plea but an appeal on behalf of many Singaporeans who share this sentiment.
Udemy Business offers over 5,000 top-rated courses across 75+ different categories, providing an extensive range of opportunities for learning and development (source: Udemy). By integrating this platform with the National Library Board's (NLB) resources, we can significantly enhance the accessibility and diversity of educational materials available to Singaporeans.
Singapore has always been at the forefront of education innovation. According to OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Singaporean students consistently outperform their peers globally in mathematics, science and reading (source: OECD). However, in today's rapidly changing world where skills become obsolete quickly, it is crucial that we continue to adapt and evolve our learning methods.
By reconsidering Udemy Business as part of our educational resources, NLB would be supporting lifelong learning in Singapore – a key component towards maintaining our competitive edge globally. We urge NLB to take this proposal into serious consideration for the betterment of education in Singapore.
Please sign this petition if you believe in expanding our horizons through continuous learning opportunities offered by platforms like Udemy Business.
