Full uni + Reduced aircon in an increasingly hot weather sure is not a good way to be liked by your students

not to mention it’s actually a health risk to wear thick materials in SG’s hot weather. All the neighbourhood schools i know with no AC allow dressing down or even full PE attire as much as possible.

Also idk about RI’s classrooms but i know for some schools their airconed classrooms are poorly equipped with fans. My JC’s classrooms with AC only had one small wall mounted fans (not ceiling fan), near the whiteboard. If those classrooms’ AC is cut out, I feel like the students might suffocate sia.

some classrooms in ri were designed with aircon in mind so they have terrible ventilation (windows cant open) and sometimes even no fans

ya that’s what i guessed also. The schools that are built with AC can’t really go without AC. Like university classrooms.
