The Minister may cause to be established and maintained post-compulsory education and training institutions, including the training centre for adults with disabilities.
In exercising the Minister's powers under this Act, the Minister shall have regard to the desirability of ensuring that the education provided in educational institutions provides opportunities for students to have access to technical and vocational education and training and the Minister may —
direct that there be provided in any post-compulsory educational institution such technical and vocational education and training as the Minister may consider appropriate; and
subsidise from monies available to the Minister for the provision of post-compulsory educational institution or training programmes, and by way of grant or by any other means, schemes whereby such education for students in attendance at such institutions may be provided at such places, including workplaces, as the Minister may consider appropriate for this purpose.
The Minister may make such arrangements as the Minister considers necessary for the operation and management of post-compulsory education and training institutions and may, in particular but without limiting the generality of this power, provide for governing bodies to report to the Minister in such manner, on such subjects and at such intervals as the Minister may determine.
Where the exercise of any power conferred by or under the University College Act (2012 Revision) would be inconsistent with the exercise of a power conferred by or under this Act, this Act shall to the extent of the inconsistency prevail over the University College Act (2012 Revision).
The Minister may enter into agreements with third parties for —
the establishment, regulation, registration and maintenance of post-compulsory education and training institutions; or
the maintenance of such educational or training institutions as may already have been established;
The Minister may make grants under this section and the Cabinet may make regulations with respect to the conduct and management of institutions providing post-compulsory education and training and, without limiting the generality of this power, may make regulations with respect to —
the manner in which grants under this section may be made;
the conditions which may be imposed on the making of such grants, including conditions requiring the registration or renewal of registration to be subject to certain standards relating to the conduct and management of the institution and the quality of the courses of study provided; and
the provision of public funds for scholarships or loans to assist in the education, maintenance and transport of students who are undertaking, or proceeding to undertake courses of instruction either in the Islands or abroad, at post compulsory educational institutions approved through the regulations.
Regulations under this section may make different provisions for different institutions and for different courses of study to be provided at institutions and may, in particular but without limiting the generality of this power, provide for the governing body to report to the Minister in such manner, on such subjects and at such intervals as may be prescribed.
