Of them, 52 were At Risk of sudden collapse and action was taken immediately to make them safe, for example by propping up The Concrete .
It was thought that The Other 104 School Buildings were safe to be in, But over The summer The government discovered there were cases where low-risk RAAC had turned out to be unsafe - for example a beam collapsed, schools minister Nick Gibb told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme.
