The Community Education Service within the City of Cork VEC/AEB is targeted at those individuals or groups who experience disadvantage in their capacity to participate in and progress in the field of education and training. 

 

To support these individuals and groups, the Adult Education Board, through its Adult Community Education fund, allocated in excess of 8,000 teaching hours in 2001 to Community Education providers within the City of Cork

 

 The White Paper on Adult Education[1] outlined criteria to further empower Community Groups by:

bullet

Enabling local providers to play a role in the development of area plans.

bullet

To inform these providers of on-going policy and practice in the field of Adult Education.

 

In response to this policy 10 Area based Networks were established in the City of Cork during 2001.
