Adult Education in the Republic of Ireland has experienced exponential change. Since 2013, the Further Education and Training (FET) sector has developed and implemented a range of strategies and policies transforming the landscape. Policy implementation is a complex process and as the 16 Education and Training Boards work to interpret FET policy and transform their offerings, practitioners are concerned that policy implementation may misalign with policy intention and compromise philosophies. This article aims to explore implementation in action. It describes the policy context, actions being taken to implement policy, the concerns of practitioners, and provides questions for consideration and reflection.
