Commenting on a statement on the Education Minister unveiling the Welsh Government’s school building programme, Angela Burns AM, Shadow Minister for Education, said:
“We welcome any additional funding to tackle the massive backlog in school repairs across Wales.
“However, it is a shame that Ministers squandered so much money in good economic times and have now failed to take advantage of other available funding sources to make our school buildings fit for the 21st century.
“It is regrettable that due to ideology, Welsh Labour Ministers have failed to support Welsh Conservative public-private partnership plans, which would have generated significant additional funding to invest in our schools.”
