ISPreview reports that new data from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and Schools Minister, Robin Walker MP (Con), has revealed that 3,835 schools are in postcodes “that do not have access” to full fibre broadband connectivity “or are currently not in areas of proposed commercial build within the next five years”

The Shadow Schools Minister, Peter Kyle MP (Lab), attacked the Government, noting its “lack of ambition for children is shining through again, leaving nearly 4,000 schools without access to full-fibre in 2025”.

Research suggests that full fibre broadband by itself may need until around 2030 or later to reach virtually every premises across the country, therefore some schools may be waiting for longer than 2025.
