(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 31 August 2007, replace the Regulations listed in regulation 9.
The Regulations provide that, in the circumstances described in the Regulations, it shall be lawful to discriminate between some or all of those persons mentioned in the Schedule, and any other person. Such discrimination might otherwise be unlawful under the Race Relations Act 1976. Nothing in the Regulations is to be construed as rendering unlawful anything done which would have been lawful had the Regulations not been made (regulation 3).
Regulation 4 provides that it shall be lawful for the institutions in paragraph (3) to charge higher fees to those people not mentioned in the Schedule, than those fees charged to people mentioned in that Schedule. Regulation 4(4) refers to section 28 of the Higher Education Act 2004. This section sets out the funding conditions that may be imposed on higher education institutions in relation to fees. Section 28 has not yet been commenced. Regulation 4(4) provides that if an institution were to breach a funding condition under section 28, these Regulations will not provide a defence.
Regulation 5 concerns rules of eligibility for discretionary awards made by local education authorities under sections 1(6) or 2 of the Education Act 1962. In the case of awards for fees, eligibility may be confined to everyone in the Schedule save for persons with leave to enter or remain. In the case of maintenance awards, rules of eligibility may exclude persons with leave to enter or remain and EC nationals. Local education authorities may confine eligibility further, by excluding anyone who has not been ordinarily resident in a relevant geographical area temporarily because of work.
Regulations 6, 7 and 8 concern teacher training and certain bodies which fund the provision of education and training. They provide that it shall be lawful for each of the Training and Development Agency for Schools, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and the Welsh Ministers, and institutions funded by them, to adopt rules of eligibility for awards which limit eligibility to those mentioned in the Schedule.
Regulation 9 revokes, in relation to Wales, the existing Regulations governing fees and awards and amending Regulations, subject to certain saving provisions.
The persons mentioned in the Schedule include those who are settled in the United Kingdom, refugees, persons with leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, migrant workers from the European Economic Area or Switzerland, nationals of Member States of the European Community and children of Swiss nationals and Turkish workers. To be settled in the United Kingdom, a person must be ordinarily resident there without being subject under immigration law to any restriction on the period for which the person may remain.
The functions of the Secretary of State under section 1 of the Education (Fees and Awards) Act 1983, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by S.I. 2006/1458 with effect from 8 June 2006. The functions of the Secretary of State under section 2 of the Education (Fees and Awards) Act 1983, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). The functions of the National Assembly for Wales in relation to sections 1 and 2 of the Education (Fees and Awards) Act 1983 were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraphs 30 (1) and 30(2)(d) of Schedule 11 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
1983 c. 40. Section 1 was amended by the Education Reform Act 1988 (c. 40), Schedule 12, paragraph 91; the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 (c. 13), Schedule 8, paragraph 19; the Education Act 1994 (c. 30), Schedule 2, paragraph 7; the Education Act 1996 (c. 56), Schedule 37, paragraph 57; the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998 (c. 30), Schedule 3, paragraph 5; the Learning and Skills Act 2000 (c. 21), Schedule 9, paragraphs 1 and 11; the Education Act 2002 (c. 32), Schedule 21, paragraph 5 and the Education Act 2005 (c. 18), Schedule 14, paragraph 9. Section 2 was amended by the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1988, section 44 and Schedule 4.
1962 c .12. The Education Act 1962 was repealed by the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998, subject to transitional and saving provisions to enable payments to be made pursuant to awards made under the Act before its repeal and to enable awards to be made in respect of courses beginning before 1 September 1999 and certain courses beginning after that date.
S.I.1997/1972, amended by S.I. 1998/1965, S.I. 1999/229, S.I. 2000/2192, S.I. 2003/2945, S.I. 2005/2114, S.I. 2006/483 and S.I. 2006 1795.
