Post Budget Comment - Budget 2024 | Only £300m Invested in FE | Sector Reaction

Tom Dodson, Chief Operations Officer at Better Green Living, commented: 

“With Government’s promise to commit £1.4 billion into rebuilding schools, the need to look further at the sector as a whole is required to modernise and future proof some of our most significant buildings. Retrofitting presents an opportunity to protect and renovate schools and higher education buildings, bringing them up to be more energy efficient and less carbon intensive than building new. Without the support from the UK Government, this unfortunately isn’t feasible.

“Investing in well-designed institutions, which are crucial for the next generation’s development, will enrich students’ overall experience in the spaces where they spend so much of their time.”
