New plans against heat in schools
117
It is often very hot in schools in Austria. Christoph Wiederkehr presents new plans. He wants to cool 50 schools quickly. Workers install new blinds and air systems. There is no general heat leave.
Schools decide on their own soon. Rules depend on heat warning levels. Sport lessons stop at 30 degrees. Teachers can move tests to other days. School ends earlier at 35 degrees. Parents can keep their children at home.
Older students can perhaps learn from home. This is called distance learning. The minister speaks about the summer holidays too. They could start 2 weeks earlier. This reduces hot days for students. The youth union wants help for job schools too.
