The school concrete crisis will not be addressed until winter, parents are concerned, as classrooms were closed and teachers were pushed to work on the pavement at the start of term. Nevertheless, students were seen eating outside and using portable toilets as school facilities were barred from entering. 104 schools have been closed or partially closed due to the use of aerated concrete, with one headteacher forecasting chaos for children before 2025. The school hall, gym, and drama studio were all forced to put their student toilets out of action.

Following the announcement that more than a hundred schools in England will not be fully open due to safety concerns on the eve of the fall term, there has been a lot of chaos around the world. In an embarrassing 'hot mic' incident yesterday, education Secretary Gillian Keegan is expected to be fighting for life today after saying she's doing 'a f***ing good job,' when others had'sat on their a***.' Last week, she was holidaying in Spain when headteachers were forced to find temporary classrooms or perform last-minute repairs after the Department of Education warned them last Thursday that aerated concrete panels could crumble and collapse. In some schools, up to half of the buildings were bricket concrete, meaning that classrooms, toilets, worker rooms, and corridors had to be sealed off. Thousands of children are now online, reflecting the days of the pandemic that was so damaging to the education of millions of children. Sarah Ingham, 46, of Hebburn, South Tyneside, is recovering from breast cancer, and she may now have to cancel critical hospital appointments after her daughter Lucy's school start was postponed. "I am sitting here bloated to bits," she said. We're all aware that school is tomorrow [Wednesday] and a crystal ball could tell me after that.'
