The section 13 curriculum must comply with the requirements in sections 20 to 24 F1....

The Welsh Ministers must revise the section 13 curriculum if they consider it necessary to do so to ensure that it continues to comply with the requirements referred to in subsection (1)(b).

The Welsh Ministers may also revise the section 13 curriculum if they consider it appropriate to do so at any time.

If the Welsh Ministers revise the section 13 curriculum, they must publish the revised curriculum.

In considering whether the adopted curriculum continues to comply with the requirements referred to in subsection (1)(b), the provider must have regard to information derived from any assessment arrangements implemented by the provider under regulations made under section 56.

The provider must revise the adopted curriculum if the provider considers it necessary to do so to ensure that it continues to comply with the requirements referred to in subsection (1)(b).

The provider may also revise the adopted curriculum if the provider considers it appropriate to do so at any time.

If the provider has adopted the section 13 curriculum, and the Welsh Ministers revise that curriculum under section 14, the provider must consider whether it is appropriate to revise the adopted curriculum under subsection (4) so as to reflect the revisions made under section 14.

If the provider revises the adopted curriculum, the provider must publish a summary of the revised curriculum.
