More than 100 schools and colleges have been told by the government to fully or partially shut buildings due to RAAC. But many more classrooms could be forced to shut as further assessments are made of the risks, the government has admitted.

"Ministers need to be upfront, publish that list, and need to get a grip," Ms Phillipson added.

"If they refuse to do so, we will force a vote in the House of Commons this week and make it happen so parents aren't left in the dark."I'm really concerned about the disruption that children are facing. "It's vital that ministers publish the full list of schools so parents can have absolute confidence that their child's school is safe."

Remote learning for children unable to access face-to-face lessons should last"days, not weeks", the government has said, but ministers have not said exactly when the disruption might ease.Education leaders have been encouraged to use community centres, empty office buildings or other schools while structural supports are installed to mitigate the risk of collapse.

Concerns about RAAC - a lightweight concrete used up until the mid-1990s - in public buildings were raised in 2018, prompting accusations that ministers have failed to act quickly enough.
