Many will agree that this change is very welcome.
However the dampner for me comes with this quote
http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0727/solas.html
In light of the poor performance of FAS in the past, I am inclined to think that a new Board would have been more in tune with the changes.
Can somebody translate 'Seirbhísí Oideachais Leanunaigh Agus Scileanna' ?
The new body will replace FÁS, which is to be disbanded. SOLAS stands for Seirbhísí Oideachais Leanunaigh Agus Scileanna.
Functions previously carried out by FÁS will now be taken over on a 50/50 basis by both the Department of Social Protection and the Department of Education.
The Department of Social Protection will take responsibility for programmes such as the community employment schemes, while further education and training areas will go to the Department of Education & Skills.
There will be a much greater role for the VECs, which will now take over the running of many courses currently provided by FÁS.
However the dampner for me comes with this quote
Members of the board of FÁS have been invited to serve out their time as members of the new SOLAS board.
