Campaigners are raising concerns about the impact of rising temperatures on children and teachers in classrooms, driven by climate change. Research shows that classrooms in England exceeded the recommended maximum temperature of 26°C during a recent heatwave in late June, with temperatures reaching up to 29.6°C. A study by the climate campaign group Round Our Way, which involved placing sensors in classrooms across seven schools, highlighted these issues. The data revealed that the heatwave, during which the UK Health Security Agency issued a yellow alert, led to dangerously high indoor temperatures. Reports from teachers indicate that some students experienced heat-related health issues, such as fainting and vomiting, and many struggled to concentrate.
