Ministers are being urged to address concerns over the safety of aerated Concrete in schools as students return for the new term. Over 100 schools, 41 hospitals, and at least six courts are known to be affected by the crumbling concrete, with experts warning that the problem may be more widespread. The government is facing pressure to publish a full list of affected schools and is expected to incur costs in the tens of millions of pounds for testing, repairs, and replacements. The Department for Education has contacted over 100 schools advising them to fully or partially close due to safety concerns.
