Teachers demand PPP safety review
TEACHERS called for an urgent review into all public private partnership (PPP) contracts yesterday following the closure of schools built under the scheme due to safety fears.
Education union EIS made the call as Edinburgh City Council was forced to shut 17 schools after “serious defects” were discovered last week.
The closures have affected approximately 9,000 children, many of whom are studying for exams.
