Whereas lifelong learning has become a reality, the government will also need to think about the needs of the employed learner. Some of the vital things that they will have to consider are – creating customized courses, modular size courses, allowing stackable credentials, permitting round-the-year admission, online on-demand assessments, the inclusion of on-job training, capstone projects, etc. This will help to create the right ecosystem for learning.
