R.Unido.- The British government publishes among critics a list of schools affected by concrete

MADRID, September 6 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The British government finally published this Wednesday a list of more than a hundred educational centers in England whose materials are lightweight concrete (RAAC) whose stability is questionable, amid criticism from the opposition that He has been demanding transparency for days.

The Education Ministry’s list includes four centers that will be forced to start courses electronically and another 19 centers that will delay the return to classes. The idea is to carry out revisions and reforms that guarantee the stability of all these properties, most of which are only partially affected.

The crisis came into focus in a containment session with the Government on Wednesday, where the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, said he had no need to apologize for taking action if new information emerged to support it. He also stressed that the “vast majority” of the centers were safe and promised that authorities would try to resolve any doubts “as soon as possible”.

Opposition Labor leader Keir Starmer has garnered some controversy in recent days before the House of Commons, asking Starmer whether he shared with Education Minister Gillian Keegan the discomfort at the absence of congratulations on a supposed “good job” from the Executive.

Keegan was forced to apologize after saying, at the end of the interview, “Is anyone going to say to me ‘you’re doing a really good job’ because everyone’s been quiet? There’s no sign of this, is there?” NO?”.

Starmer also blamed Sunak for cutting funding for school reform during his tenure as finance minister, echoing complaints made to the media by a former senior official who pointed the finger directly at Downing Street tenants.

But for Sunak, the program proposed by the previous Labor government to reform schools was “expensive” and took up too much time. Moreover, according to the ‘prime minister’, he abandoned 80 per cent of the centre, in the face of Starmer’s accusations of supporting his own party’s project.
