Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Education (Further Education Institutions Information) (England) Regulations 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”). The 1995 Regulations, as amended, require governing bodies of institutions within the further education sector to publish specified information about the educational achievements of their students and their occupations after completing their courses, and to provide specified bodies with copies of the information.

These Regulations require the governing bodies to supply more detailed information about the main occupation of students after completing the course, by distinguishing between descriptive categories of employment and training.
