# The Education Maintenance Allowance (Pilot Areas) Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Education Maintenance Allowance (Pilot Areas) Regulations 2000.
The Regulations make provision for the payment of allowances by the local education authorities listed in the Schedule to or in respect of students over compulsory school age.
Regulations 4 to 6 provide for the conditions which have to be satisfied for the allowances to be paid. Regulation 4 provides for conditions as to residence in a relevant area specified in the Schedule. Regulation 5 provides for conditions as to income and regulation 6 provides for other conditions. Amongst the other conditions is a requirement for an education maintenance allowance learning agreement (an expression defined in regulation 7) to be signed by a parent, student and on behalf of the institution.
Regulations 8, 9, 10 and 11 prescribe further circumstances in which each of the allowances, that is the weekly allowance, the termly bonus, the achievement bonus and the special allowance can be paid.
The main differences between these Regulations and the 2000 Regulations are changes to conditions relating to residence (regulation 4) and changes in the way income is calculated for the purposes of determining whether the “income condition” (regulation 5) is satisfied.
