The UK government’s concern regarding systemic risks in postwar school buildings has escalated following the RAAC crisis, propelling the need for extensive structural surveys across at-risk school buildings.
Last year, the National Audit Office revealed about 3,600 system-built school blocks may deteriorate, spotting a significant safety risk among England's educational infrastructure from the postwar era.
Experts warn that due to insufficient historical data on these buildings, it’s nearly certain some schools erected between 1945 and 1990 will deteriorate and have to shut.
This investigation highlights the dangerous state of public buildings in England; many schools, hospitals, and courts urgently require repairs to prevent risks of serious injury.
