Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations which apply to Wales make provision for extending the requirement to provide a programme of careers education to include pupils who are over compulsory school age and students aged between 16 and 19 attending institutions within the further education sector.

Regulation 2 extends the requirement in section 43 of the Education Act 1997 to provide a programme of careers education to cover pupils aged between 14 and 19, rather than 14—16 as section 43 currently requires.

Regulation 3 imposes an entirely new requirement for students aged 16—19 attending further education institutions to be provided with a programme of careers education.
