# The Education (Schools and Further Education) (Amendment) Regulations 1983, Note: Explanatory note


These Regulations amend the Education (Schools and Further Education) Regulations 1981 (“the principal Regulations”); they come into operation on 1st April 1983.
In the case of schools, the principal Regulations (with the exception of Regulation 9) apply only to schools maintained by local education authorities other than special schools. Regulation 3(1) of the present Regulations provides that they shall also apply to special schools (whether or not so maintained).
In the case of further education establishments, the principal Regulations apply to establishments provided by local education authorities and other establishments designated under Regulation 3(b) thereof as substantially dependent for their maintenance on assistance from such authorities or on grants under section 100(1)(b) of the Education Act 1944. Regulation 3(2) of the present Regulations provides that, in the case of establishments not provided by such authorities, the principal Regulations shall instead apply to establishments designated by or under a new Schedule added to the principal Regulations by Regulation 6 (the establishments listed in the new Schedule are those which had been designated under the principal Regulations as originally made with the addition of the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music).
Regulation 4 takes account of the provisions of the Education Act 1981 (which comes fully into force on the date on which the present Regulations come into operation); it substitutes references to hostels for pupils with special educational needs for references to hostels for handicapped pupils and defines such hostels.
Regulation 5 corrects an erroneous reference to the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 in Regulation 9 of the principal Regulations (which relates to transitional exemption orders under that Act).
