People Can Learn Anywhere, Anytime They Want
It is estimated that the number of people who have access to internet will surpassed 3.4 billion this year, which is incredible. Think of it, in early 1990s, only less than 1% of the people had the access to the internet.
The quick spread of the Internet paved the way for countless services. People are enabled to access services with lower costs than ever, for both money and time.
Among those are the educational resources, which have long been seen as one of the most scarce and valuable ones have thus been shared by more people. Everybody, especially the poor, is benefits a lot. For example, the SkillsFuture Scheme has given the choices to the five million residents in Singapore. Every Singaporean can go to LOOP.sg to claim credits and take one course, like Math & Statistics.
