Some 1,500 schools have yet to return surveys, Gillian Keegan said
Hundreds of UK schools could be built with dangerous 'crumbly concrete,' according to a government minister.
It comes as a former senior civil servant slammed the government for 'halving funding for rebuilding schools'. Speaking on the BBC's Today programme, Jonathan Slater, who was the top civil servant at the Department for Education from May 2016 to August 2020, said then-chancellor Rishi Sunak slashed plans to rebuild 100 schools back in 2021.He said two surveys of RAAC in schools were carried out, and showed the the scale of the rebuilding programme needed.
Speaking this morning, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has said that around 10%, or 1,500 schools, are yet to return the surveys sent out by the Department for Education to identify RAAC in buildings. In Greater Manchester, a Bolton primary school has been forced to delay its reopening for the start of term, while others have put in place 'mitigating measures'.
