Question
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the state of school buildings in need of repair in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
It is a local authority duty to assess condition and safety risks for all buildings within its school estate and to maintain records. However, high-level condition data is collected annually through the Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.
The Programme’s investment objectives include reducing sub-standard accommodation which is assessed at each stage of the business case process through the Sustainable Communities for Learning Business Case Scrutiny Group and Education Investment Panel.
