The Education (Bursaries for Teacher Training) Regulations 1994

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations supersede the Education (Bursaries for Teacher Training) Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/1397, amended by S.I.s 1989/1451, 1990/1599, 1991/1804, 1991/2589 and 1993/1775).

They consolidate these previous sets of Regulations and make amendments to them. Apart from minor and consequential amendments these are as follows.

Bursaries are no longer tenable in respect of biology nor craft, design and technology courses except those which began before 22nd August 1994 (although, in practice, bursaries may be tenable in respect of craft, design and technology courses, even if they start on or after that date, because bursaries are still tenable in respect of technology courses) nor in respect of courses starting on or after 1st January 1995 which are part-time. Bursaries are however tenable in respect of courses which prepare persons to teach more than one of the scheduled subjects (rather than requiring the course to have as its principal subject matter one such subject, as previously). In the light of this change, the subjects with more than one scheduled component have been deleted from the Schedule (regulation 5(c) and the Schedule).
