Asked Further and Higher Education
Deputy John Connolly asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the reason for recent reductions in SOLAS funding allocations to education and training boards, including GRETB; the extent to which these reductions have resulted in the cancellation of adult literacy, disability support and ESOL programmes (details supplied); the assessment that has been made of the impact of these cuts on learners and staff, particularly in rural communities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
