I raise the issue of adult education tutors who work with the most marginalised groups and students but suffer basic unfairness in the terms and conditions of their employment. These workers pay the Teaching Council but do not have the status of teachers. They see pay inequality among their colleagues across the education and training boards, ETBs, and there is no pay parity between pre-2011 and post-2011 entrants. They do not have an incremental salary scheme. They work in the public sector but do not have public service contracts. There is uncertainty over their hours and during the summer months they are laid off and must sign on. Will the Government step up and provide basic fairness to these important educators.
