asked the Minister for Education the number of enrolments for 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 in the adult education programmes of the VECs.
Written Answers. - Adult Education.
81.
Statistical data relating to adult education programmes of the VEC's are collected in the September following the end of each school year. Data in respect of the 1979-80 school year are at present being compiled from the annual returns as they are received in my Department. The current position is that 30 VEC's have returned the relevant forms, and eight VEC's representing 80 schools have not done so. Reminders have been issued to these eight VEC's. I will communicate with the Deputy when all of the returns have been received.
