(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2006 (the "Principal Regulations"). The Principal Regulations provide for support for students taking designated higher education courses in respect of an academic year beginning on or after 1st September 2006.
Under the Principal Regulations, the rate of the grant for fees for students classified as "old system students" depends on whether they are taking a course at a publicly-funded institution or at a private institution and which private institution they are attending. Regulations 4 and 5 make the necessary amendments to the Principal Regulations to take account of the fact that, for the purposes of the Principal Regulations, Guildhall School of Music and Drama will cease to be a private institution and will become a publicly-funded institution on 1st August 2006 as a result of being designated under section 129 of the Education Reform Act 1988 as an institution eligible to receive support from funds administered by the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
Regulation 3 updates a definition in the Principal Regulations.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
