内容摘要：Under the agreement, Iran was permitted to enrich uranium up to a purity of 3.67%. Low-enriched uranium can be used to produce fuel for commercial nuclear power plants. The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, says Iran is now significantly increasing the rate at which it can produce uranium enriched to 60%.

Ms Larkin said updates on the programme were "very infrequent".Extra funding would help, she said, but the DfE was competing with other government departments for bigger budgets.

Others told the BBC the recent collapse of construction company ISG, whichcould make it even harder for the DfE to find companies to take on the work.The schools on the School Rebuilding Programme are those the DfE has deemed as being most in need.

However, the NAO report last year said funding levels in England had contributed to the "deterioration" of the wider school estate - and 24,000 school buildings (38% of the total) were beyond their initial life design.James Ludlow, principal at Joseph Leckie Academy in Walsall, said he spent £10,000 of the school's budget refurbishing its 1930s school hall this summer because he became "fed up" with the peeling paint and damp.

"We're having to spend a lot of money on patching things up," he said.

The NAO report also said the "slower than planned" progress of the School Rebuilding Programme was "largely due to construction providers not taking up contracts"."We do care work because we actually do care, you have to have a lot of care courage and you have to be committed to it.

"Dementia patients can be a challenge but if a resident wants something, we try and give it to them," said Ms Rieta.Nadra Ahmed, the chair of the National Care Association, said: "The reality is that we can't recruit local people to undertake this critical role, so we have had to choose the more costly route of using the foreign visa scheme, which was put in place to tackle the workforce crisis we faced in the sector post Brexit and Covid.

"Without [the visa scheme] we will have to limit what we can deliver, and in some cases that will mean the services are not viable."They will have no options but to close and this will impact of those we support."
