  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThe Education (Recognised Bodies) (England) Order 2007 (the “2007 Order”) lists all of the bodies appearing to the Secretary of State to be recognised bodies within section 214(2)(a) or (b) of the Education Reform Act 1988 (the “1988 Act”). Such bodies are either:\n(a) universities, colleges or other bodies authorised by Royal Charter or by or under Act of Parliament to grant degrees; or\n(b) bodies which are for the time being permitted by any body falling within paragraph (a) to act on its behalf in the granting of degrees.\nThis Order amends the 2007 Order and updates the list of bodies contained in the Schedule to that Order. A number of bodies are omitted from the Schedule as they no longer have degree awarding powers or have merged with other bodies. A number of new bodies have been inserted into the Schedule, as these bodies now appear to the Secretary of State to fall within either (a) or (b) above. A number of minor amendments have also been made to the Schedule to take account of name changes since the 2007 Order was made.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.",
