(Board Inspectors) Bill 1997
Explanatory note
This explanatory note relates to this Bill as introduced into Parliament.
Clause 2 provides for the commencement of the proposed Act on a day to
be appointed by proclamation.
Clause 3 is a formal provision giving effect to the amendments to the
Education Reform Act 1990 set out in Schedule 1.
Schedule 1
Amendments
Schedule 1 [ 1 ] amends section 104 of the Act, which deals with staff of the
Board of Studies. Currently those members of the Board's staff who are
known as Board inspectors are either temporarily employed under section 38
of the Public Sector Management Act 1988 or seconded under section 41 of
that Act. The amendments have the effect of designating Board inspectors as
a special class of employees of the Board, whose conditions of employment
are to be regulated in accordance with provisions contained in a new
Schedule to the Act.
Schedule 1 [2] amends section 105 of the Act to replace a reference to a
particular officer. The reference is outdated owing to administrative changes
since the enactment of the Act.
Schedule 1 [3] inserts a new Schedule 1A into the Act, which describes the
general nature of the conditions of employment of Board inspectors. They
will remain public sector employees, and their conditions of employment will
in many respects resemble those of officers of the Public Service. Their
salary, wages and other conditions, to the extent that they are not determined
by a State industrial instrument or otherwise by law, may be fixed by the
Department Head of the Office of the Board.
Schedule 1 [4] amends Schedule 3 to the Act to enable the making of any
necessary regulations of a savings or transitional nature in consequence of the
enactment of the Bill.
