EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Student Fees (Qualifying Courses and Persons) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 to comply with article 9 of Decision No 1/80 of the Association Council of 19th September 1980 on the development of the Association between the European Community and Turkey.
The Association Council was created by the agreement establishing an association between the European Community and Turkey which was signed in Ankara on 12th September 1963 by the Republic of Turkey on the one hand and the Member States of the EEC and the Community on the other. The agreement was concluded, approved and confirmed on behalf of the Community by Council Decision 64/732/EEC of 23 December 1963 (OJ 1973 c 113 p l).
Article 9 of Decision No 1/80 of the Association Council of 19th September 1980 on the development of the association provides: "Turkish children residing legally in a Member State of the Community with their parents who are or have been legally employed in that Member State, shall be admitted to courses of general education, apprenticeship and vocational training under the same educational entry qualifications as the children of nationals of that Member State. They may in that Member State be eligible to benefit from the advantages provided for under the nation legislation in this area".
Regulation 4 defines the Student Support Regulations. These include the Education (Student Support) (Amendment) Regulations 2007. The definition of a child of a Turkish worker has been defined in those Regulations
Regulation 5 corrects a drafting omission to now include Social Work degree students with a previous honours degree as a qualifying person.
