More than a year since the RAAC scandal emerged, nearly 90 per cent of schools receiving government support to remove dangerous concrete have not had work carried out, The Independent can reveal.
Labour education minister Stephen Morgan has also admitted that it could take up to five years to fix the nationwide problem, which has left thousands of pupils being taught in temporary classrooms.
Latest figures show at least 232 schools are to get help through government money after reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) was found amid the national scandal last autumn.
