All of these factors point to a need for schools and policymakers to make indoor air filtration and air quality monitoring a priority for schools. As the government embarks on its £1bn schools rebuilding programme, there’s an excellent opportunity to rethink how our schools are built, and ensure they’re set up to bring about the best outcomes for students. Embracing innovation to reduce contaminants and increase ventilation in schools will help bring out the best of students’ productivity, help reduce the attainment gap by making sure disadvantaged pupils can learn in a clean and safe environment, as well as having possible benefits on the long-term mental wellbeing of students. Cleaning our classroom air should start now.
