Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations empower the Secretary of State to pay training supplements to persons undergoing training as teachers to facilitate and encourage their training to teach subjects in Welsh as well as in English (regulation 3).

To be eligible for a supplement, a person must not previously have completed a course of initial teacher training, must have been accepted for the course and must satisfy the Secretary of State of his commitment to teaching in secondary schools in Wales.

Claims for payment of a supplement are to be made in such form and with such particulars as the Secretary of State may determine (regulation 4).

The Secretary of State may determine further conditions, or amend such further conditions, on the fulfilment of which the payment of a supplement shall be dependent (regulation 5).

The supplements are tenable only in respect of full-time courses of up to one year’s duration being courses of initial teacher training leading to a Post-Graduate Certificate of Education, designed to prepare persons to teach subjects in Welsh as well as in English (regulation 6).

A supplement is for the normal duration of the course in respect of which it is granted, but, in certain circumstances, the period may be extended or payment of the supplement may be suspended or terminated (regulation 7). The value of the supplement is £1,200. (regulation 8).
