The return to classes will coincide with the last days of another episode of high temperatures, repeating the same situation as in recent years: classrooms offer practically no refuge against temperatures that represent a risk to children's health, according to the Spanish Association of Pediatrics. Experts warn that heat in schools can be harmful to students.
Most schools and institutes were designed for a climate that no longer exists, making them ovens in summer and freezers in winter. This situation highlights the inadequacy of school infrastructure to current climatic conditions.
However, technicians assure that there is a solution to this problem. And this solution does not necessarily involve filling classrooms with air conditioning units, paving the way for more sustainable and accessible alternatives.
