EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend paragraph 11 of Schedule 1 to the Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 to make it clear that a person who does not have a relevant connection with the United Kingdom and Islands under regulation 5 will be an excepted student (in respect of whom higher fees cannot be charged in pursuance of regulation 7) where the only reason that that person does not have a relevant connection with the United Kingdom and Islands is as a result of that person (or a connected person) being temporarily either employed or studying outside the United Kingdom and Islands.
