The crumbling concrete crisis will be resolved “well before Christmas”, the education minister said this morning.
Nick Gibb said he expected the affected schools to be secured or alternative accommodation found quickly, with classes only expected to be interrupted for a few days.
Asked if the overall situation will be sorted out by the end of this school term, Mr Gibb told LBC Radio: “What we are doing is sending a social worker to every school where we know that there is Raac. They are currently working with these schools.
“We know that in the 52 schools we have already sent and are working on this year, children have only been out of school for an average of six days.
“So alternative accommodation has been found, mitigation, support, whatever, has all taken place in those 52 schools. I expect the same to happen in the remaining 104 schools, where we are now more cautious in Raac, which has been identified as non-critical. And I think that will all be settled long before Christmas. »
So far, some 156 schools have been identified as having reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac). Mr Gibb said he expected that number to rise as more schools respond to a government questionnaire on the issue.
