Education and Training Provision
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-08
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

Will the Minister agree with me that the staff who work in these LTIs are important? Could he tell me what plans there are to help those staff in their professional development and to put in place an appropriate future staffing framework, as has been mentioned in the national further education and training strategy, Future FET, that was launched two years ago? Is the Minister concerned that LTIs are not mentioned in the national further education and training strategy at all? Will he tell me what can be done to ensure that the staff can be secure in their employment? Is it not true that they go from year to year and that there is no opportunity for advancement, promotion, incremental increases in salary or professional development? Would he agree with me that the staff need to be very skilled when dealing with a group of students who find it difficult to learn?
