  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order lists all those bodies which appear to the Secretary of State to be recognised bodies within section 214(2)(a) or (b) of the Education Reform Act 1988. An award granted by such a body is not an award of a 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.\nThis Order updates and replaces the list of bodies contained in the Education (Recognised Bodies) Order 1988 as amended by the Education (Recognised Bodies) (Amendment) Order 1991, both of which are revoked. It includes a number of institutions which have been authorised to award degrees under section 76 of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 (c. 13), and section 48 of the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 1992 (c. 37).",
