Schools unable to maintain safe learning temperatures during extreme heat events
UK schools lack adequate cooling infrastructure to protect students during heatwaves, forcing children into dangerously hot classrooms (40°C+) where they become distressed and unable to concentrate. Schools have no practical solutions to cool buildings quickly during peak summer temperatures, and current HVAC systems are insufficient for extreme weather conditions. This creates immediate health and safety risks while disrupting education.
