Department for Education plans to rebuild and repair schools across England may not be enough to “eliminate risk” across the estate, its permanent secretary has admitted.
The admission came during a Parliamentary public accounts committee (PAC) hearing today, in which Susan Acland-Hood was quizzed about the rapidly deteriorating school estate.
Alongside Acland-Hood, DfE director general of schools Andrew McCully and director general for strategy, Graham Archer, also gave evidence.
