  • NACED in the 21St Century
    NACED in the 21st Century argued strongly that the Director of Adult Education post was linked to that of Deputy Principal which was exempt from the moratorium. NACED worked closely with the ASTI and TUI and put forward a motion supporting our campaign at the ACCS Conference in March 2010. This motion was passed unanimously. After a yearlong campaign, in July 2010 Minister for Education Mary Coughlan issued Circular 42/2010 which essentially removed the Director of Adult Education post from the moratorium. NACED was very pleased to see that Circular 42/2010 contained a section titled ‘Director of Adult Education at Deputy Principal Level’. Our contention was that the post of Director of Adult Education was linked to the post of Deputy Principal and therefore should have been exempt from the moratorium. Critically, there were now two Department Circulars, 46/2000 and 42/2010, confirming this link. However, there followed a nine month delay in the implementation of Circular 42/2010.
