Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
234. Deputy Margaret Murphy O'Mahony asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason the adult education level-five nursing studies course that was run by a school (details supplied) has been discontinued; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37726/18]
View answerOfficials in my Department contacted the school on this matter who informed me that the decision to discontinue adult education was made due to a space and capacity issue and to allow the secondary school to focus on the needs of its secondary school students. The adult education programme was discontinued on a phased basis to ensure the least disruption as possible to learners.
Adult education courses are available throughout Cork from Level 1 through to Level 6 under the National Framework of Qualifications. Details of these courses can be obtained from Cork Education and Training Board or on www.fetchcourses.ie.
