(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Fees and Awards) (Wales) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”), the Education (Student Support) (Wales) Regulations 2017 (“the 2017 Regulations”), the Education (Student Support) (Wales) Regulations 2018 (“the 2018 Regulations”) and the Education (Student Support) (Postgraduate Master’s Degrees) (Wales) Regulations 2019 (“the 2019 Regulations”).
These Regulations amend provisions in the 2017 Regulations and the 2018 Regulations relating to the amount of maintenance support payable to an eligible student by reference to the place where they live during the quarters in which that support is payable. The amendments provide that an eligible student who lives with their parents for a reason only relating to coronavirus is treated as living in the location they would have been living had it not been for that reason, unless the student requests otherwise.
These Regulations also correct typographical errors in the 2007 Regulations, the 2017 Regulations, the 2018 Regulations and the 2019 Regulations.
