Cost-of-living crisis being blamed for drop in uptake
There's been a slow take-up of adult courses being offered this year at University College Isle of Man.
The drop-off is partly attributed to the financial crisis with people choosing to cut down on the number of leisure courses they’re committing to.
It's hoped that an initiative to reduce the cost and length of many of the courses will enable more people to take advantage of the options offered.
Kerry Birchall is in charge of adult education courses:
Island's finances 'in a better position than most other jurisdictions'
Completion of assisted dying bill 'the most significant moment of 2025'
Keep dogs away from Garwick Beach for next few days
Cost of sending a letter on the Island to increase in January
