Abstract/Citation
Amends the law relating to education in schools (including curriculum, examinations, finance and staff appointment and dismissal) and institutions of higher and further education (including finance and staff appointment and dismissal). Under section 222, the Secretary of State may by order make modifications in any enactment relating to employment which is considered necessary or expedient under certain ss. of this Act; before such orders are made, organisations representing staff shall be consulted. Voids any contract made after 20 November 1987 which provides that the employee shall not be dismmissed by reason of redundancy (section 221). Amendments and repeals of other statutes appear in Schedules. With stated exceptions, the Act does not extend to Scotland or Northern Ireland (section 238).
