More than thirty schools across the country have been found to have the potentially dangerous material, reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac).
None of the schools are in Fife, though Club 601 and Stage in the Union at St Andrews University have been closed after a safety inspection found the material in their roofspace.
NHS Fife also says several of its buildings have been identified as potentially having Raac due to their age.
City of Edinburgh Council currently has the highest number of schools with Raac, with eight across the local authority including the material.
Scottish Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth said 37 schools were affected and that ministers had known since last year.
She said: “This has of course been an issue that the government has been aware of for some time, and that’s why action has been taken, and has been for some time, for example way back in July 2022 Scottish Government officials made contact with the Scottish heads of Property Services and directors of education in Scotland to share information on Raac.
“I can completely appreciate why there is public concern on this, particularly given the way that announcements have been handled down in England.
“But I can reassure the member that we appreciate that public concern means we need to be as open as possible, as we can be, for this because parents and staff are concerned about this issue.”
