DEMOCRACY IN ACTION:
YOUR STATE, YOUR ADULT ED, YOUR SAY
WINS for friends of AE so far:
Commitment by government to keep Adult Education
brand and name (previously not given).
Removal of some increase costs after big prices
increases predicted by Friends of AE.
Changes made to concession rates after unfair
increases brought to public attention by Friends of AE.
Celebration of Adult Ed’s 60th year (previously
none planned).
Still to fight:
Inequitable up-front payment enrolment system.
Move to full cost-recovery pricing structure, meaning
increased costs and less classes.
Planned closure of Adult Education centres (Warrane and South Hobart
currently being closed with more to follow).
Reduction in Adult Education staff numbers.
