Jonathan Slater, the former permanent secretary at the Department for Education, has dropped Rishi Sunak at the heart of the RAAC school scandal
Mr Slater said a survey of the schools estate in 2020 found that around 300 to 400 schools were in need of repair or complete rebuilding, but the Treasury under Mr Sunak’s oversight agreed to rebuilding around a third.programme, the former mandarin, who led the DfE from May 2016 to August 2020, said a second school building survey was carried out showing the scale of the rebuilding programme needed.
But he said when the DfE went to the Treasury to ask to rebuild 300 to 400 a year, the department was given the money to repair just 100 schools a year. Mr Slater said the Treasury’s decision was made despite there being significant concerns around pupil safety.
