Ministers have been ordered to commit to a funding package and deadline to rid schools of collapse-prone RAAC like their NHS counterparts.
In a damning report, penned by the public accounts committee, the Department for Education was also told it must “urgently” get a handle on the number of inaccurate responses from schools to its RAAC questionnaire.
The calls come after Schools Week revealed on Friday that three Stockport schools that had originally been given clean bills of health have closed following extra RAAC inspections.
In the summer, the National Audit Office revealed that years of chronic underinvestment have meant 700,000 children are being educated in buildings needing major repairs.
