Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Central Institutions (Scotland) Regulations 1972 and 1974 and related amendment regulations of general application. The principal change which the Regulations make is to introduce new uniform rules in respect of the composition of the governing bodies of all central institutions grant-aided under section 73(c) of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980. In addition, the Regulations amend the provisions of the enactments, schemes, articles of association and other instruments relating to individual central institutions to take account of the recomposition of their governing bodies.

The new rules on the composition of the governing bodies can be contrasted with those of the past. Under the Central Institutions (Scotland) Regulations revoked by these Regulations, the composition of the governing body of each central institution was individually specified. Those Regulations also provided for a number of the governors in each governing body to be appointed on the nomination of external bodies. These Regulations depart from that approach, both in providing a uniform structure for the governing bodies and in providing that the appointing authority for governors should be either the governing body itself, or other specified groups within the institution (regulations 5 and 6).

Each governing body is to be comprised of a core membership and a co-opted membership, appointed in accordance with regulations 5 and 6 respectively.

Schedule 1 consolidates the provisions relating to the academic councils of the central institutions (see also regulation 18). The Regulations do not affect the continuance in office of any member of an academic council who was appointed before the Regulations came into force and the academic councils of the institutions remain in office until reappointed in accordance with the Regulations (regulation 24).

Schedule 2 lists the amendments and revocations of the provisions of enactments, schemes, articles of association and other instruments governing individual institutions (regulation 20).

Schedule 3 lists those Regulations and Schemes revoked by the Regulations (regulation 21).

Finally, the Regulations also consolidate the Dundee College of Technology (Change of Name) Regulations 1988 and the Napier College of Commerce and Technology (Change of Name) Regulations 1988 (these institutions now being known respectively as Dundee Institute of Technology and Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh) (regulation 23).
