  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) Regulations 1989 in respect of a school year beginning on or after 21st August 1990.\nRegulation 19 of the 1989 Regulations requires schools, in selecting pupils to take up assisted places in any school year, to select at least 60% of those pupils from “publicly maintained schools”. Grant-maintained schools are included in the definition of “publicly maintained schools” in regulation 19(2) of the 1989 Regulations (regulation 2).\nReferences to the relevant income tax legislation in Schedule 1 to the 1989 Regulations are updated so as to discount deductions from total income allowed on payments for medical insurance made by those aged 60 or over (regulation 3).\nThe means test for the remission of fees is relaxed and the level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is set at £8,200 in place of the present £7,584 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where relevant income exceeds that sum (regulation 4).",
