Explanatory note

These Regulations are made in replacement of the Education Authority Bursaries (Scotland) Regulations 1986, as amended. They prescribe the conditions subject to which bursaries may be made and make provision with regard to requirements to be fulfilled by persons in relation to whom the powers of an education authority under section 49 of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 may be exercised.

The most important difference between these Regulations and those which they replace is that the amount of bursaries is no longer regulated and is left to the discretion of education authorities.
