Confusion over Adult Education in Tasmania

The Tasmanian Greens have called on Premier and Education Minister David Bartlett to clarify how he will utilise the $1.8 million allocated for Adult Education, and how his announced changes to Adult Education will affect pensioners and Health Care Card holders, after the Friends of Adult Ed group revealed that they are still waiting for answers to these basic funding questions. Greens Leader Nick McKim MP said Mr Bartlett's failure to respond to basic funding queries is adding to confusion and concern over the future of Adult Education in Tasmania, while also raising questions over whether the Premier is out-of-touch with his own Education Department.
