The National Assembly for Wales, in exercise of the powers conferred on the Secretary of State by sections 50 and 63(3)of the Education (No. 2) Act 1986[1], and now vested in the National Assembly for Wales[2], hereby makes the following Regulations: Citation, commencement, revocation and savings 1. - (1) These Regulations may be cited as the Teacher Training Incentive (Wales) Regulations 2000 and shall come into force on 22nd September 2000. (2) Subject to paragraph (3), the Education (Mathematics and Science Teacher Training Incentive) (Wales) Regulations 1999[3] are revoked. (3) Those Regulations shall, however, continue to apply in relation to any person who has been awarded a grant under them if any payment of grant was made by the National Assembly (or the Secretary of State under corresponding arrangements applying in England) before 22nd September 2000 and the person is continuing to undergo, or has completed, the course in respect of which the grant was awarded. Interpretation 2. In these Regulations -
(b) leads to a person who completes it successfully becoming a qualified teacher;
(b) is determined to be a qualified teacher by the National Assembly or the Secretary of State in accordance with any provision so made.
Incentives for persons to undergo teacher training
(b) received the full amount of any instalments of grant payable in respect of the period when he or she was undergoing the course under any arrangements applying in England which the National Assembly is satisfied correspond to those made in pursuance of these Regulations; and (c) taken up a teaching post at a maintained school in Wales.
(3) In paragraphs (1) and (2) "eligible" means eligible for student support under regulations made under section 22 of the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998[7].
(b) who is employed to teach at any school or other educational institution (and who is not a qualified teacher); or (c) in relation to whom the Regulations referred to in paragraph (2) of regulation 1 continue to apply by virtue of paragraph (3) of that Regulation.
(2) No grant shall be paid under regulation 3 to a person unless he or she has made an application to the National Assembly in such form, at such time and containing such particulars as the National Assembly may determine.
(b) it provides for repayment of grant where, after receiving any instalment of grant, the recipient fails to meet any eligibility criteria adopted by the National Assembly in relation to a subsequent instalment; or (c) it provides for repayment of grant where the recipient has provided in, or in connection with, his or her application for grant information which is false or materially misleading.
Amount and payment of grant
(b) meets all relevant conditions contained in these Regulations; and (c) meets any relevant criteria for eligibility for grants under regulation 3 adopted by the National Assembly.
(4) Grants under regulation 3 may be paid in a lump sum or in such instalments and at such times as the National Assembly determines, and the National Assembly may in particular determine that instalments shall be payable on dates which are after the person has taken up a teaching post as a qualified teacher. (This note is not part of the Regulations) The 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. Under 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. The Regulations include an entirely new provision enabling grants to be paid to encourage schools to take on and train graduate teachers. The Regulations are explained in more detail below. The 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) . Regulation 2 contains definitions of terms used in the Regulations. Grants 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) . Regulation 4 sets out a number of cases where grant may not be paid under regulation 3. Regulation 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. Regulation 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). Incentive 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) .
