Part 4: Miscellaneous and General Chapter 2: Miscellaneous Provisions
This Chapter contains four miscellaneous provisions. The first provides the Secretary of State with an order making power to enable the designation of 16-19 academies as having a religious character. It also provides for the Secretary of State to make regulations about the procedures relating to the designation. The second is a technical amendment that shortens and increases the flexibility of the process by which institutions can be designated as being within the statutory further education sector. The third gives the OfS an explicit power to publish information about its compliance and enforcement activity in relation to higher education providers. The fourth corrects an anomaly relating to when a provider has to have a high-quality rating to charge the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) tuition fee uplift.
