173.This section amends Schedule 2 to the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 by removing paragraphs and cross headings relating to the language medium of teaching at schools, and sets out certain consequential amendments. This means that alterations to the language medium of teaching described in Schedule 2 (“Regulated Alterations”) to the 2013 Act are not a “regulated alteration” for the purpose of that Act. Consequently there is no need to follow the process in Part 3 of the 2013 Act when making such alterations to the language medium of the teaching. Instead, it is Part 3 of this Act which now makes provision about changing the language medium of teaching at schools.
