I was an adult literacy organiser in my previous work, to which I may return. One of the difficulties my colleagues in the field talk about is the people at or below FETAC level 3. A certain degree of flexibility is required for this client group because their first experience of education was not positive and dealing with the structure of the system is very difficult for them. Given that FÁS has been replaced by SOLAS, is the Department of Social Protection moving towards too rigid a space to deal with those people or is it just anecdotal information?
