ICYMI: Around 67 percent of teachers said the heat in their classroom is intolerable, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers revealed.
“Still, the classroom atmosphere remains inconducive to learning,” ACT chairperson Vladimer Quetua said in a statement.
The survey also revealed that classrooms heavily rely on electric fans for ventilation as 97 percent of respondents said that they use electric fans, while only one percent have air conditioners and two percent only depend on natural ventilation. According to ACT, survey respondents suggested a number of ways on how to address the problem, such as installing air conditioners in classrooms, changing the class schedules to avoid the hottest hours of the day, and implementing blended learning by alternately holding face-to-face classes in the mornings and distance learning modalities at home.
