Education

(1) It is unlawful for the responsible body for an educational establishment to discriminate against a person who has family status-
        (a) in the terms on which it offers to admit that person to the establishment as a student;
        (b) by refusing or deliberately omitting to accept an application for that person's admission to the establishment as a student; or
        (c) where that person is a student of the establishment-
          (i) in the way it affords him access to any benefits, facilities or services, or by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him access to them; or
          (ii) by excluding him from the establishment or subjecting him to any other detriment.
(2) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that subsection (1) does not apply to any act done by the responsible body for an educational establishment in order to comply with-
        (a) the system commonly known as the Primary One Admission System or any scheme, system or programme that replaces that System in whole or in part;
        (b) the system commonly known as the Secondary School Places Allocation System or any scheme, system or programme that replaces that System in whole or in part; or
        (c) any provision of a law, being a provision relating to the admission of students.
