Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Education (Recognised Bodies) (Scotland) Order 2007 (“the 2007 Order”) lists the name of all those bodies which appear to the Scottish Ministers to be recognised bodies for the purposes of section 214(2)(a) or (b) of the Education Reform Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”).
This Order amends the 2007 Order to update the list of bodies contained in the Schedule to that Order. Article 9 removes an entry for a body which no longer has degree awarding powers. Articles 3 to 5, 8, 12, 14 and 15 add entries for bodies which now appear to the Scottish Ministers to be recognised bodies under the 1988 Act. Articles 6, 7, 10 and 11 correct entries for bodies which have changed their names since the 2007 Order was made. Article 13 corrects a minor error.
1988 c. 40. Relevant modifications to that Act are contained in the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 2) Order 1999, Schedule 2, paragraph 91 (S.I. 1999/1820). The functions of the Secretary of State were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
