Students affected by crumbling Raac concrete

In September, at the start of the new term, some schools couldn't fully reopen because of Raac.

Raac is a type of lightweight concrete used in buildings.

In September 2023, the government released a list of 174 schools in England with buildings made from Raac.

The government said that Raac was crumbly and unsafe, so for a while some pupils couldn't head back into the classroom and had to do online learning.

Well it's now been more than six months, but there are still students who are being affected by the issue.

Newsround visited a secondary school near Ipswich where students are missing out on science experiments, are often being moved classrooms and feel like they are behind on their education.
