AFTER the release of the SPM results, universities and other institutions of higher education would be going all out to promote their degree courses. The print media is filled with their ads and lists of scholarships available to the top scorers. Indeed, school leavers are spoilt for choice at education fairs that are held several times a year.
On the flip side, there is a growing number of people who are left out in the cold when it comes to further education and career opportunities. I am referring to older adults who would like to learn new skills or enrol for a course of study to improve their chances of returning to the work force. What options are available to them? Almost none.
