  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations, which relate to the provision to the Secretary of State and to parents of information about the performance of schools and other specified information, apply in relation to schools and local education authorities in Wales. They replace, with some changes, the Education (School Performance Information) (Wales) Regulations 1995 (as amended), which are revoked.\nThe main changes are that the categories of information specified in Part 1 of Schedule 1 in respect of GCSE examinations now extend to equivalent GCSE short course examinations and, in two cases, equivalent GNVQ and NVQ qualifications of the kind listed in regulation 4(5). Regulation 4, which has been revised and extended, explains how equivalences are to be determined (see paragraphs (5) to (7)).",
