All schools must be air-conditioned with energy efficiency and organize their activities with environmental sustainability criteria

A new royal decree in Spain mandates that all educational institutions meet minimum requirements based on new realities such as climate change and demographic shifts. The decree requires schools to implement energy-efficient climate control systems and organize activities according to environmental sustainability principles. It addresses concerns over inadequate air conditioning in schools, particularly during heatwaves, which have led to protests by teachers and families. The draft, accessed by EL MUNDO, establishes national guidelines despite education being under regional authority. Schools must develop protocols for extreme temperatures, including adjusting schedules, limiting outdoor physical activity, and prioritizing vulnerable students. Regional authorities are required to provide necessary support.
