2020's UK School Rebuilding Program struggles to meet goals, with only 62 contracts awarded by June 2024, compared to the projected 83 by March 2023.
The UK's School Rebuilding Programme, launched in 2020 to rebuild or refurbish 500 schools over ten years, is struggling to meet its goals. By June 2024, only 62 contracts had been awarded, far below the projected 83 by March 2023. Experts cite construction firms' reluctance due to concerns over budget overruns amid high inflation. The Department for Education claims the program remains on track despite these challenges.
