Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which come into force on 31st January 2008 amend the Individual Learning Account (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (“the principal regulations”). The principal regulations specify arrangements which qualify under section 2 of the Education and Training (Scotland) Act 2000 and provide for the payment of grants in respect of persons who are parties to the qualifying arrangements.

Regulation 11 of the principal regulations provides that the Scottish Ministers may determine the amounts of grant payable under the learning account scheme and in so doing may provide for differing amounts to be payable depending upon whether the qualifying arrangements are “ILA Scotland Universal Arrangements” or “ILA Scotland Targeted Arrangements”. Regulation 3 amends regulation 11 of the principal regulations to provide that the amount as from time to time determined by the Scottish Ministers may either be the same or different depending on the kind of approved learning in respect of which the grant is payable and on the amount of time spent by the learning account holder in the approved learning.
