£14million announced for school repairs

Education Secretary Kirsty Williams has announced £14million for small scale school repairs and maintenance under new plans.

The funding will be spent on areas such as boilers and plumbing works to school toilets, caretaker costs, painting and decorating, plastering and repairing or replacing flooring.

The funs are part of plans to work to improve school buildings through the Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools and Education Programme.

Local Authorities will receive the funding who will then distribute the money to all schools in Wales.
