## Resource

Britain’s schools are overheating — literally — as historic buildings, designed for cold, buckle under record-breaking heat waves. With no air conditioning, broken ventilation, and asbestos blocking upgrades, thousands of students and teachers are suffering in sweltering classrooms, some even fainting or cooling feet in buckets of water. Unions demand workplace heat limits, while climate experts warn that by 2050, 35°C days could become routine — making air conditioning not a luxury, but a necessity. The cost? Sky-high, and with chronic underfunding, Britain’s crumbling infrastructure is being left behind by a warming planet.
