Commentary on provisions of Act Section 2: Consequential amendments
Section two covers consequential amendments. Subsection (1) substitutes the definition of ‘class’ in section 43(6) of that Act (careers education in Welsh schools). The Welsh provisions in the Act were relying on the definition of ‘class’ in section 42A. This has now been omitted because the duty is being extended to pupils throughout their secondary education. As the Act does not apply to Wales, a definition of ‘class’ is still required. This subsection is moving the definition of ‘class’ to the Welsh provisions of the Act.
	Subsection (2) omits "42A," and "42A(6)," from section 46 (1) of the Education Act 1997 (power to extend scope of certain provisions).
	Subsection (3) revokes the Careers Guidance in Schools Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/709) which extended the age range of the career guidance obligations to pupils aged 13-18. The Careers Guidance in Schools Regulations 2013 are no longer required because the careers duty is being extended to pupils throughout their secondary education.
