According to previously unpublished figures, 235 schools in England are endangered by crumbling concrete, revealing the serious state of the school estate and the need for immediate action.
The presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) has been confirmed in 457 government buildings, including schools, hospitals, and prisons, indicating a widespread issue.
Experts indicated that schools must evacuate children due to the crumbling concrete, highlighting the risks and potential for long-term displacement in temporary buildings.
Rachel Reeves' recent budget includes billions for capital projects, yet fails to address new funding for the schools affected by Raac, leaving many uncertainties.
