Open the windows

THE EDITOR: I respectfully suggest that when schools reopen to facilitate the writing of the CXC, CAPE and CSEC examinations, that the windows of the classrooms be opened to allow natural air to circulate.

If covid19 is still a potential threat in July, and other steps are being taken to keep our children safe, surely the use of air conditioning might pose an additional risk of spreading the coronavirus.

Our young people will complain about the heat, as they have been spoilt by air conditioning in most of our secondary schools, but so be it.
