14. Section 19 of the Principal Act is amended by omitting subsections (3A)
and (3B) and substituting the following subsections:

"(3A) At any time, and from time to time, during the year 1987 or 1988, but
subject to subsection (3B), the Commonwealth Education Minister may, at the
request of the State Education Minister for a State, direct that this Act
shall have effect as if some or all of the amounts specified opposite to the
name of the State in columns 2 and 6 of the Part of Schedule 5 that relates to
that year were varied in accordance with the direction, and, where the
Commonwealth Education Minister gives a direction with respect to the
variation of those amounts, then, for the purposes of this Act (including this
section), there shall be deemed to have been specified in that Schedule, as
from 1 January in that year, in substitution for those amounts, those amounts
as so varied.

"(3B) A direction given under subsection (3A) in relation to a State in
respect of the year 1987 or 1988 shall not provide for the variation of any
amounts specified opposite to the name of the State in columns 2 and 6 of the
Part of Schedule 5 that relates to that year in such a way that, after the
variation, the aggregate of the amounts specified opposite to the name of the
State in those columns is greater or less than the aggregate of the amounts
specified opposite to the name of the State in those columns immediately
before the giving of the direction.".
