The Great PFI Debt

Available for over a year

The Great PFI Debt: an investigation into why schools are having to pay tens of thousands of pounds extra from their budgets for what they say are inflexible and over-priced PFI maintenance contracts. Reporter Rob Cave hears how some schools are paying as much as a fifth of their entire school budget on cleaning and repair services while the headteachers and governors can’t afford to replace staff.
