The Scottish Government's capital spending on primary and secondary education has slowed significantly in recent years. From a yearly spending increase of 52% in 2005-06, the increase in spending slowed to just 4% in 2008-09.
Commenting, Liberal Democrat Education spokesman Margaret Smith said:
"This shows that for all the SNP's bombast on education and school building, capital spending has slowed significantly.
"They haven't built a single school and probably won't in their time in Government.
"The chaotic Scottish Futures Trust has done nothing since its creation.
"They have let pupils down and at a time when the Scottish construction industry is crying out for work this Government have let them down too."
