Education Amendment Regulations (No 4) 1993

Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 12 April 1994general_report

The WA Parliamentary Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation examined the Education Amendment Regulations (No. 4) 1993 and recommended their disallowance. The committee was concerned that the regulations, which allowed the Chief Executive Officer to grant exemptions to the Education Act Regulations for pilot education projects, removed the Parliament's power to scrutinise these exemptions. The committee believed such provisions should be dealt with by an Act of Parliament.

Impact

The regulations impact schools, teachers, and students involved in pilot education projects, as well as the broader education system due to the potential for unchecked exemptions to existing regulations. The Parliament's oversight role is also affected.
