Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Grant) Regulations 1990 so as to enable the Secretary of State to pay grants to persons (other than local education authorities) in respect of assessments carried out under paragraph 10 of Schedule 3 to the Education (Teachers) Regulations 1993 (as substituted by the Education (Teachers) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1997) for the purpose of determining whether the standard required for the conferment of qualified teacher status has been attained. The new provision applies only to cases where the person being assessed has completed a teacher training programme at an independent school in Wales.
