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:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
