Ministers are under pressure to spell out their plans to make schools safe from aerated concrete as pupils start the new term.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Children's summer holidays are coming to an end and Parliament is returning from recess against a backdrop of uncertainty about how long disruption will last as any risks are mitigated.<\/p>\n
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt moved to reassure parents the Government would "spend what it takes" to address the problem, but Treasury sources later said money for repairs would come from the Department for Education's (DfE) existing capital budget.<\/p>\n
More than 100 schools and colleges have been told by the Government to fully or partially shut buildings following the recent collapse of a beam previously considered safe.<\/p>\n
But more classrooms could be forced to shut as further assessments are made of the risks of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) in buildings, the Government has admitted.<\/p>\n

So that's how many are affected."<\/p>\n Their status changed to critical after an incident in August where a panel fell from a roof that had previously been assessed as non-critical, she said.<\/p>\n She said 52 that had already been classed as critical were already "done".<\/p>\n Potentially hundreds of surveys still need to be done, Ms Keegan said.<\/p>\n It comes as officials revealed the schools were made up of dodgy concrete –\u00a0just days before the new school term starts.<\/p>\n Unions have now warned this could be just \u201cthe tip of the iceberg\u201d.<\/p>\n They said hundreds more schools built with \u201ccrumbly\u201d reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) expected to be told that they must shut classrooms and buildings.<\/p>\n It comes as…<\/strong><\/p>\n Simon Allford, president of the Royal Institute of British Architects, said it was "a huge concern 700,000 pupils are being taught in buildings that require major rebuilding or refurbishment".<\/p>\n RAAC is a lightweight type of concrete and is normally used in the roof, the floor, cladding and wall construction.<\/p>\n It was used in the UK since the mid-1950s but stopped being used in the 80s, according to the Local Government Association. <\/p>\n It's believed many schools and officers were built with RAAC concrete.<\/p>\n The material has also been found in other types of buildings since – not all of which are in the public sector.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In some cases, inspections found some RAAC planks had defects that when couple with severe weather, caused them to creep.<\/p>\n The condition of some planks then deteriorated causing them to collapse. <\/p>\nRoy Keane \u2018shaken\u2019 after \u2018headbutt\u2019 by fan with Sky set to \u2018beef up\u2019 security<\/h3>\n
