# The Education (Bursaries for Teacher Training) (Amendment) Regulations 1991, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Bursaries for Teacher Training) Regulations 1988 (“the principal Regulations”), and come into force on 1st September 1991.
The Regulations amend and (for clarification purposes) substitute a new regulation 5 of and Schedule to the principal Regulations so that the Secretary of State is empowered to pay bursaries in respect of courses of initial teacher training which begin on or after 1st September 1991 and the principal subject matter of which is biology, or any combination of physics, chemistry or biology. (Regulation 2(1) and (3).)
The Regulations also amend regulation 7 of the principal Regulations by substituting a new regulation with the main effect that the extra allowance of £500 a year for intending teachers of physics will in future only be payable to students with a first degree in physics whose course is designed to prepare them to teach pupils including those aged from 16 to 18. Existing students are unaffected. (Regulation 2(2).)
