The Education (Bursaries for Teacher Training) Regulations 1988

Duration of training bursaries

6.—(1) Subject as hereinafter provided, a training bursary shall be payable for the period ordinarily required for the completion of the course in respect of which it is granted, less such part, if any, as the holder is excused from attending.

(2) If the authorities of the establishment at which a training bursary is tenable refuse to allow a holder to complete his course, his training bursary shall terminate forthwith.

(3) If, by reason of ill health or otherwise, the holder does not, or does not reasonably expect to, complete his course within the period ordinarily required, the Secretary of State may extend the period for which the training bursary is payable.

(4) If, after consultation with the authorities of the establishment at which the training bursary is tenable, the Secretary of State is satisfied that a holder has—

(a) abandoned the course in respect of which it is held; or

(b) by his conduct shown himself to be unfitted either to hold a training bursary or for employment as a teacher,

he shall terminate the training bursary.

(5) If the holder fails to furnish any information reasonably requested by the Secretary of State or, in response to such a request—

(a) has furnished information which he knows to be false in a material particular; or

(b) has recklessly furnished information which is false in a material particular,

the Secretary of State may terminate the training bursary or suspend it in whole or in part; and, where he has so suspended the training bursary, he may subsequently either restore it from such date as he thinks fit or terminate it.
