The United Kingdom government ordered over 100 schools to keep buildings closed due to concerns over aging concrete. Many schools are scrambling for alternatives.
has ordered more than 100 schools to keep some or all of their buildings closed when the new academic year begins next week because of concern crumbling concrete threatens the safety of children and staff.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb told the BBC that a beam collapse over the summer sparked an urgent reconsideration of whether buildings constructed with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete were safe for school children. The Department for Education ordered 104 schools to keep some or all of their buildings closed when the autumn term begins on Monday.
"That’s a very cautious approach, so parents can be confident that if they’ve not been contacted by their school, it is safe to send children back into school," Gibb said.
