Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:29 pm on 13 February 2018.
Many of us were in school in the 1980s, and despite the best efforts of our teachers, we were taught in buildings that were falling apart, portakabins—I remember one portakabin where there was ivy growing up the inside of the wall because there was a gap between the floor and the wall. I saw heating systems that didn't work. I saw no new schools being built. Compare that to now. Compare that to now where we have over 150 schools and colleges in Wales that will be refurbished or replaced in the five years to 2019. That's 150 schools and colleges that, under the Tories, would have been left to decay.
