Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
Part I of the Education (Scotland) Act 1996 enables the Secretary of State by order to establish a new statutory body called the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). This Order establishes that body on 18th September 1996, when most provisions of Part I of the Act come into force.
SQA will not take up its substantive functions immediately. The property, rights, liabilities and obligations of the Scottish Examination Board and the Scottish Vocational Education Council will be transferred to SQA as their successor at a future date to be appointed by the Secretary of State, and the provisions of the Act giving SQA substantive functions will be commenced then.
