No one can accuse either of the main political parties of knowing about the problems of this material because the fact is that they simply did not know - the concrete material has been in use since the 1950s.
HOWEVER - The dangers of this material became very apparent in 2018
July 2018 – A period of calm about the risk from Raac ended when the ceiling of the staff room at Singlewell primary school in Gravesend, Kent, collapsed on a Saturday evening having shown signs of structural stress the previous day. No one was hurt but the images of the destroyed room suggested people could have died. The school had been rebuilt in 1979 using Raac after a fire.
This IS A POLITICAL ISSUE and blame does lie fairly at the hands of the Conservative government
The Conservative government(s) slashed spending on school refurbishment and rebuilding (FACT)
March 2022 – Raac problems aside, demand for money to rebuild crumbling schools in England far outstripped available funds. This month, 1,105 projects were nominated for funding but only 61 were successful. In 2021-22 capital spending by the DfE was about £4.9bn, the lowest recorded since 2009-10.
We have a crumbling government in charge of crumbling schools

The Tories have 'knowingly' been putting our kids at risk by allowing the nations schools to crumble. RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) Has been widely used since the 1950's. But hey, lets not bother with facts, lets blame the nasty Tories who want to kill our children. You utter pillock. |

Most of the most expensive buildings we have ever built using PFI were built with RAAC mate. And fuck knows how many buildings went up under the wilson infestation of no 10. Funny isn't it we had the left preaching about how many biuldings were built under labour but now it is proven that these buildings are crap the labour infestation didn't build so many after all...LOL....Thats the left for you... |

The Tories have 'knowingly' been putting our kids at risk by allowing the nations schools to crumble. Stop with the lies. It's the department of education who should have been planning and implementing for this years ago. Now that's a funny thing.
My daughter was born in 1986 and was therefore the first to suffer Blair's secondary school edukashun edukashun edukashun bollox
But before she left the Primary school where I was for several of her later years the treasurer of the school PTA, I had two fascinating conversations with her headmaster, who arrived as the new head of the school the same day she arrived in the reception year
The first was in regard to those poisonous, and culture destroying SATS. Hers was the first year to have their education ruined by those inventions of the antichrist. Now the headmaster had asked teachers in the school, from the first day he got there, to maintain a record of each child's progress against a set of targets he set, on acetate sheets. The targets were simple enough, things like 'could identify letters and numbers', could read a sentence in a book', 'could write their name' all the way up to the KS1 curriculum targets. Simply put, when a teacher noticed the child capable of achieving the task, tick the box, date and initial...
As a result the school had a solid record of each child's actual achievements against targets going back to the day they entered the school
The headmaster asked me to take a look and try to map out the progress of the children against these targets, versus the teacher's predictions of their success in the STS versus their actual success.
Would anybody be surprised to hear there was no effing difference ??
But the second conversation almost brought me to tears.
As a pupil in school himself he had taken a leaning towards English and English Literature. And he set himself a goal as a primary school headmaster which he took from the headmaster at his own primary school, who, on the last day of school in the last year before he went up to secondary school, told the assembled children that he has set himself a goal to find the time to hear every child in the school read something to him.
Sarah's headmaster had failed to do what his own headmaster had achieved. Because when Sarah's headmaster was in school, and even when he left secondary school and started his undergraduate course, the job of the headmaster/headmistress was to be a man manager, to mentor and inspire new teaching staff, to work with and make the best use of experienced staff, to set the curriculum and the level of teaching given to each pupil, in short to decide what would be taught, by whom, and when, and to see for themselves how successful or not their plan was working in educating the children in their care.
But he had miserably failed to achieve his main goal, he said, because in the time he had been the headmaster, the job had changed beyond recognition. On the first day of his taking the position, he was indeed responsible for all the things i mentioned above, and it was the responsibility of bean counters and politicians to manage budgets and maintain the school's infrastructure and upkeep.
By the time Sarah left, the tables were turned absolutely on their head. All aspects of the curriculum and mentoring and maintaining the degree to which the children were successful, all control of what was taught, and when, was stripped from him and directed by the state and politicians, and he was given the job of keeping the books, maintaining the accounts and controlling the repairs and maintenance to the infrastructure

And just how many did Labour keep inspecting? How the feck you can turn this into a political point scoring exercise is beyond me. Someone else started the political points by mentioning Labour in a post about Tory incompetence. |

It's the department of education who should have been planning and implementing for this years ago. Typical comment from a Marxist, when things go wrong in the public sector its the governments fault, and when things go right it's the people's efforts that get the accolades. You class me as a Marxist for criticising 13 years of Tory failure, typically stupid comment. |

The Tories have 'knowingly' been putting our kids at risk by allowing the nations schools to crumble. And past administrations knowingly built public buildings with a lifespan of 30 years because they ruled in the short term and thought “ **** this by the time they fall down we’ll be long gone” and laughed. Sunak may be many things but if you really believe this is the fault of the present govt and you’re not political point scoring ( and you are and we all know it) but if by an outside chance you believe it so your brain and thought processes are of the same consistency and value of that concrete,full of air and ready to crumble. Given, they knew the buildings had a lifespan of 30 years makes my point even more pertinent, thank you. |

What is RAAC and why was it used?
RAAC stands for reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete. It is a lightweight building material that is mostly used in flat roofing and sometimes in floors and walls.
It has an aerated, bubbly texture, and was preferred as a cheaper alternative to standard concrete, as it was faster to produce and easier to install. However, the speed and ease come at a cost. RAAC is less durable and its lifespan is only around 30 years.
Plus, if it is exposed to moisture, it is prone to collapse, as the bubbles can allow water to enter the structure.
READ MORE www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/what-raac-reinforced-autoclaved-aerated-concrete-schools-buildings-b1104629.html Everyone at the time knew it was only good for 30 years so why approve it? The British disease - short terminism. |

I didn't realise the schools were built within the last 13 years Marx, and that government has direct oversight into these buildings. You set the trend with your stupid and moronic opening post. Let's take a look again at the utterly stupid OP. |

Anyway, the Westminster party have ended up kicked out of just about every country they have ever turned up in, for exactly the same reasons as this, they are useless bastards masquerading as legitimate politicos. While the civil service couldn't run a pliss up in a brewery either.

Is anyone checking the quality of building materials being used in the 40 new hospitals Boris promised?
