EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes provision in consequence of the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 2005.
That Act dissolves the existing Scottish Further Education Funding Council and Scottish Higher Education Funding Council and establishes the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (the "new Council"). The new Council will have the duty to secure the provision of further and higher education and research and to make grants to institutions to achieve this.
Articles 2 to 5 of this Order amend four Acts of Parliament to insert references in these to the new Council, its members and, where appropriate, duties the new Council will be under. The provisions which apply to the new Council under this Order are in the same terms as those which applied to the former Councils.
