# The Education (Recognised Awards) (Amendment) Order 1989, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order adds the Degree of Barrister-at-Law awarded by the Benchers of the Honorable Society of the Inn of Court of Northern Ireland to the list of awards contained in the Education (Recognised Awards) Order 1988. That Order lists particular awards granted by certain persons which are recognised awards for the purposes of section 214 of the Education Reform Act 1988. Recognised awards are not awards of the kind referred to in section 214(1), which makes it an offence to grant, offer to grant, or issue any invitation relating to certain unrecognised degrees and awards.
