Education Act 2005 Explanatory Notes

Section 99 and Schedule 14:  Amendments relating to the training of the school workforce

176.Schedule 14 makes consequential amendments to other enactments to reflect the changes made by provisions of this Act relating to the training of the school workforce. Many of the changes are to reflect either the change in name of the Agency or the change in the funding power of the Agency from one of funding “eligible institutions” to one of funding “training providers”. In addition, paragraph 23 amends section 14 of the Education Act 2002 to provide that “training”, in the context of the powers of the Secretary of State and the Assembly to give financial assistance in connection with training for teachers or for non-teaching staff, has a meaning corresponding to that used for the purposes of Part 3 of this Act. Paragraph 27 ensures that, should the Agency carry out funding functions in relation to Wales, the Assembly would have the same power to impose conditions in relation to the charging of fees over the Agency as they do over HEFCW.
