Show Notes
Protesters in Athenry rally against severe cuts to adult education courses, including English language classes and literacy programs, due to a tighter budget from SOLAS. Twenty-five teachers face job loss and 150 classes are eliminated, disproportionately affecting second-chance learners and those building basic skills. Politicians and educators denounce the move, with the Teachers Union of Ireland labeling it a poor choice and a harsh timing. Protesters plan to gather outside the boards offices, advocating for a quick reversal of the funding squeeze.
