# The Education (Fees and Awards) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1991, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 1st September 1991, amend the Education (Fees and Awards) Regulations 1983.
Regulation 4 and Schedule 1 of the 1983 Regulations have been amended to reflect the amendment made to section 1 of the Education (Fees and Awards) Act 1983 by paragraph 91 of Schedule 12 to the Education Reform Act 1988 (except in respect of further education institutions in Scottish local education authorities, as these are dealt with by the Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Regulations 1983 (S.I. 1983/1215)) (regulation 2(1) and (4)). It is no longer necessary to specify in Schedule 1 institutions covered by the general reference to institutions in the PCFC funding sector.
The British Academy and the Fellowship of Engineering have been added to the list of bodies which make awards; the body formerly known as the Social Science Research Council has been re-named the Economic and Social Research Council and the list has been amended accordingly (regulation 2(2)).
The scheme for postgraduate agricultural studentships has been extended to Scottish and Northern Ireland candidates (regulation 2(3)).
