EDUCATION, SCOTLAND

These Regulations enable the Secretary of State to pay grants in respect of the provision of pre-school education in the school year 1996/97 in certain areas of Scotland, namely North Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire and parts of Argyll and Bute and Highland local government areas. Grants can be paid to the relevant education authorities or to managers of schools or other persons approved by the Secretary of State. The areas concerned are ones in respect of which the education authorities have chosen to participate in a trial of funding arrangements relating to pre-school education which do not apply in other areas, and which appear to the Secretary of State suitable for such a trial. Grants can also be paid in respect of pre-school education provided at special schools outwith these areas for children whose parent is ordinarily resident in one of these areas.
