I am very much aware of the importance of the work that adult education tutors perform across our society. There are 3,300 of them working to support the adult education sector and they work across 16 different education and training boards. However, the terms and conditions of adult education tutors are a matter, in the first instance, for both the Department of Education and the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. My officials are working closely with colleagues in both Departments in regard to the finalisation of a Labour Court recommendation regarding the alignment of this group to any existing salary scale in the education sector.
