(1)A person who is above compulsory school age but has not attained the age of 19 may elect for either or both of the following entitlements—
(a)the core entitlement described in section 3B, and
(b)the additional entitlement described in section 3C.
(2)In this section and in sections 3B to 3D, “course of study” means a course of education or training leading to a qualification specified by the Secretary of State by order for the purposes of this subsection.

(a)mathematics,
(b)English, and
(c)information and communication technology.
(2)The core entitlement is satisfied where a course of study in such of the core subjects as the person has chosen is made available to him at a school or institution.
(3)A person’s entitlement to follow a course of study within a core subject ceases if he does not begin the course of study made available to him before he attains the age of 19.
(1)In relation to a person falling within section 3A(1), the additional entitlement is an entitlement to follow a course of study within an entitlement area specified by the Secretary of State by order for the purposes of this subsection.
(2)The additional entitlement is satisfied where a course of study within one of the entitlement areas specified by order for the purposes of subsection (1) is made available to the person at a school or institution.
