The government has finally published a list of schools identified with collapse-prone concrete after days of mounting pressure.
The document, released by the Department for Education, showed the start of term had to be delayed at 19 schools as a result of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).

Four schools have also had to return to remote learning – echoing learning during the pandemic – while the rest have become a mix of remote learning and face-to-face.
The list came just before the first PMQs since the summer recess, where Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told the Commons the government had “acted decisively to ensure the safety of children and minimise disruption to education”.
But Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer accused the Conservatives of spending 13 years “cutting corners”, and compared ministers to “cowboy builders”.
The Liberal Democrats’ education spokesperson, Munira Wilson, also called for Mr Sunak to “come clean over his own role in this crisis”, and publish evidence given to him when he was chancellor on the risks to children’s safety from RAAC.

Education secretary under fire for opening ‘Pandora’s box’ on concrete crisis
Ms Keegan came under fire on Tuesday for telling school leaders to “get off their backsides” and complete the forms.
It was the latest mishap after she was caught on camera bemoaning a lack of thanks for doing a “f***ing good job” while other people are “sat on their arses”.
Rishi Sunak is also facing criticism for rejecting a funding request to fix 200 schools while chancellor.
The prime minister defended himself by saying he committed to a major programme to fix around 50 schools a year over a 10 year period – but the Department for Education confirmed on Tuesday that just four have been rebuilt since 2021.
