MHK says ventilating classrooms by opening windows is making children ill
Children are being exposed to Victorian era conditions in the Island's schools.
That's the view of a Rushen MHK who will ask the education minister about classroom temperatures and Covid mitigations in schools at this month's Tynwald sitting.
Dr Michelle Haywood believes the Department of Education, Sport and Culture should focus on installing HEPA filters instead of opening windows to ventilate classrooms.
She says the current approach is making pupils sick and distracting them from their lessons:
Child benefit payments delayed due to technical issue
Manx Care says it is 'doing a lot of work' to tackle concerns raised by doctors
New elective surgical unit will be 'nice controlled environment'
Manx dancer, teacher and festival organiser 'in awe' at RBV win
MNFU calls for ability to trade with UK to be made a priority
