A multi-million pound project to modernise more than 30 Norfolk schools starts next month, despite the failure of a Private Finance Initiative (PFI). The county council had struck a deal with troubled engineering firm Jarvis to carry out the improvements.
But last November the firm said it could not fulfil the �92m contract.
The county and government has now provided �77m to reorganise 36 schools. Phase one of the project will include the renovation of 19 schools.
Schools which need to be rebuilt will be included in the second phase.
