Not exactly a feel good education story on the front of the Guardian today.
The idea that £35billion could be spent on mediocre buildings when education in general is underfunded and failing in lots of areas is mind boggling.
With the work that people like JISC and Futurelab have being doing about what needs to be done to create learning spaces fit for the 21st Century (and thats just activity I know about off the top of my head) you'd think they would be able to get it right.
It seems alot of money to spend on buildings when perhaps more should be spent on teachers, after school programs and ICT and it makes it even harder to take if the buildings aren't really fit for use now let alone future proofed.
