Panorama Report: Crumbling schools left in the cold

22 Jan 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the BBC Panorama report which revealed that crumbling schools are plagued by leaks and the cold, Liberal Democrat Education Spokesperson Munira Wilson MP said:

“Thousands and thousands of school buildings across the country are in dire need of investment after years of neglect from this Conservative government.

“The lack of Government action is shockingly leaving children in extremely cold classrooms having to wear gloves and hats while attempting to learn.

“The Liberal Democrats know that investment in education boosts our children’s futures. The Treasury needs to urgently look at increasing the funding for clearing the backlog of school repairs.”
