It was not until I received this week in the same envelope copies of the
Education (Student Support) Regulations 1998 and the Education (Student
Loans) (Scotland) Regulations 1998 that I realised that were were being
required to administer student loans under three separate sets of
regulations. I have checked with the DfEE; lest anyone panic, I am
assured that the England & Wales and Scotland regulations are identical in
all material respects, save for Schedule 1 (7)(a), which gives the
residence qualification in one as England and Wales, and the other
Scotland. The Northern Ireland Regulations are yet to reach me.
For those who want to track down their institution's copies, they has been
addressed to "The Chairman of the Governing Body"!!
The England and Wales Regulations (SI 2003) are available on the HMSO
website at:
