Failure to plan for rising temperatures has left UK’s schools sweltering

Many buildings are in use past their predicted lifespans, but even newer designs lack measures to beat heat

中文導讀

英國校舍老化問題嚴重,好多建築物早已過咗預計使用年限,加上新設計亦缺乏足夠嘅防暑措施,導致近期天氣轉熱時,學校課室變得極度悶熱。呢個情況唔單止影響學生學習效率,更反映出英國教育部門喺應對氣候變化方面,缺乏長遠規劃,令師生喺極端高溫下受苦,急需政府正視校舍翻新工程。
