Qualifications Wales Act 2015 Explanatory Notes

Schedule 4: Consequential Amendments

163.This Schedule makes changes to legislation to reflect that this Act establishes Qualifications Wales as the regulator of a new system of qualification regulation in Wales. One such change is the repeal of the Welsh Ministers’ regulatory functions relating to qualifications under the Education Act 1997; another is to confine the application of the restriction on public funding of certain courses in the Learning and Skills Act 2000 to England only, since section 34 provides the new restriction in relation to Wales. The Schedule also repeals related obsolete provisions.
