Extra investment to be made in rebuilding schools
260 schools are already benefiting under the first phase of the Government's Priority School Building Programme (PSBP), bringing the total number of schools to receive a revamp to 537.
Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg said: "Children can't learn and teachers can't teach in schools that are cold and have leaking roofs. To create a stronger economy we have to invest in a fairer society so that our young people can be successful in the future."
