摘要

Construction output in the education sector has seen four years of consistent growth, reaching a peak in 2016 at around {pound}11.2bn, driven by investment in both the school and higher education estate. From 2017 however, forecasts indicate that output will decline slightly over the next three years before returning to growth in 2020 and 2021. Demand in this sector continues to be strong and the need for additional school places is expected to exceed 420,000 by 2021.
