THERE is “no immediate risk” to the safety of staff and pupils in Scottish schools built with a collapse-risk form of concrete, a minister has said.there are no plans to close buildings as has been done in EnglandThe English Department for Education has closed 104 schools south of the Border after the material – linked with the collapsed of a school in Kent in 2018 – was identified in school buildings.
The concrete was used from the 1950s until the mid-1990s, with the Institute of Structural Engineers saying it will only need to be replaced if it is considered to be in poor condition and at high-risk of collapse.Gray added: “There is no reason to believe that the safety concern has changed in the previous weeks.
