Dr Mary Bousted, Joint General Secretary of the National Education Union responds to Labour calls for Government to publish list of unsafe school buildings.
Commenting on Labour’s motion to the House of Commons today (Tuesday) demanding the Government publishes information about the state of England’s school buildings, Dr Mary Bousted, Joint General Secretary of the National Education Union, said;
"It is disturbing that the Government has let school buildings fall into such a state of disrepair that some even pose a risk to those who work and study in them. It is equally disturbing that despite the warnings Government either does not know, or will not tell us, which buildings fall into this category.
‘In one of the most advanced economies in the world it is shocking that children, young people and school staff work and learn in an environment that is dangerously unsafe."
