EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES

These Regulations make modifications to the provisions of the Education Act 1996 in connection with the imposition of a limit on the size of infant classes at schools in England and Wales by Regulations made under section 1 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (which come into force on 1st September 1998). The modifications apply during the transitional period before the coming into force of the provisions of the 1998 Act concerning (a) the new school framework, and (b) the admission of pupils to schools in that framework (which is expected to be on 1st September 1999).
