Labour's School Building Programme Scrapped As Coalition Continues To Wield The Axe

The Conservative-led Coalition sent the UK right back to the 1980's today, with Education Secretary Michael Gove's announcement to the House of Commons that they were scrapping Labour's schools' building programme.

We will now no doubt see a return to the Thatcher era of schools with leaking roofs and overcrowded classrooms.

It is a disgraceful step by a Coalition that built their election campaign around the need to build a better future
for our country.

By cancelling such an important scheme, both the Conservatives and their Lib Dem puppets are showing that they clearly do not care about the future generation.
