Statute overview

About this statute

The provision sets up local curricula for 16- to 19-year-olds, gives some pupils a right to choose courses, and assigns duties to the Commission, school leaders, local authorities, and Welsh Ministers. This part requires service providers and local authorities to act on inspection reports, gives the National Assembly for Wales power to direct local authorities, and sets duties and powers around education assessments, guidance, and some education-sector regulations. This provision amends education law so local authorities can provide part-time as well as full-time education, training, and related activities, and must pay special attention to people with learning difficulties. This segment mainly records repeals, insertions, substitutions, and omissions to sections and schedules of the Act over time.
