EDUCATION unions accused the Tories of failing to take the crumbling concrete crisis seriously today, after it emerged that 43 more schools are at risk.
The Department for Education (DfE) has identified a total of 214 schools and colleges that face structural issues due to their use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac).
