  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThe Education (Mathematics and Science Teacher Training Incentive) (Wales) Regulations 1999 provided for the payment of grants by way of incentives to encourage more people to undergo college-based post-graduate teacher training courses to teach mathematics or science at secondary level. The 1999 Regulations are revoked by the present Regulations save in the case of those who have already received a payment of grant under the 1999 Regulations before 22nd September 2000.\nUnder these new Regulations incentive grants may be paid in respect of such courses to teach all subjects. Where a person receives any instalments of grant in respect of a course at an institution in England for which incentive grants are payable under parallel arrangements, the Regulations enable the National Assembly to pay any remaining instalments to which that person would have been entitled by virtue of these Regulations had he or she completed a course in Wales in respect of which grant was paid under these Regulations.\nThe Regulations include an entirely new provision enabling grants to be paid to encourage schools to take on and train graduate teachers.\nThe Regulations are explained in more detail below.\nThe 1999 Regulations are revoked but any person who has received a payment under those Regulations will continue to be covered by those Regulations (regulation 1).\nRegulation 2 contains definitions of terms used in the Regulations.\nGrants may be paid by way of incentives for persons eligible for student support to undertake college-based post-graduate teacher training to teach any subject (regulation 3).\nRegulation 4 sets out a number of cases where grant may not be paid under regulation 3.\nRegulation 5 allows the National Assembly to make payment of grant under regulation 3 subject to a requirement that it shall be repaid in specified circumstances.\nRegulation 6 provides for the National Assembly to determine the amount of grant, which may be paid in a lump sum or in instalments (some of which may be deferred until after the person qualifies as a teacher and has taken up a teaching post).\nIncentive payments may be paid to the governing bodies of maintained schools to encourage them to take on and train graduate teachers under the scheme known as “the Graduate Teachers' Programme” (regulation 7).",
