[POLL] Should classrooms be air-conditioned?

[Laneige]

If I can survive so can they
Govt Shld build more trees ard them
N I don’t want to pay higher tax

if electricity is pay by parents then ok
If govt pay = end of the day take from everyone then not ok

TBH if this is the 80s or 90s, i will ignore the request

but past 5-10 years, the weather has become really hot and humid at times, so much so, how to concentrate properly? And with climate change, the weather wont go back to the 80s/90s...

just imagine your office now become non-aircon, give u ceiling fan, u can tahan? if can, thumbs up for chiu - role model riao

i googled to fully aircon all primary and secondary schools in singapore

One-Time Capital Cost: ~S$100 Million
Running Costs (Electricity): S$18M – S$33M Per Year

for context:
The annual budget for the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) is approximately S$15.3 billion
The Singapore Government collected S$8.66 billion in Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums during the 2025 financial year
The Singapore Government recorded an overall budget surplus of S$15.1 billion for the 2025 financial year (FY2025), following a surplus of S$6.4 billion in FY2024

Aircon for classrooms only

Aircon for classrooms only

no, if someone fall sick, you cannot open window or it may spread

 

[pwongkk]

last time 80s/90s weather still not so bad.

To make way for more economic refugees, more forests being cleared fir housing.

no, if someone fall sick, you cannot open window or it may spread

then like that we need to remove govt office aircon liao? ite/poly/uni aircon also need to switch off?

 

[buttbERry]

i feel is a yes

 

[miko66]

because global warming ma, people smoke, burn insence, more air pollution etc which contribute to the hot weather

who’s to be blamed for allowing smoking !

who initiated deforestations relentlessly ?

 

[paperplane1943]

besides aircon, is there a cheaper, better and faster solution to lower temperature in classrooms?

 

[kreja]

Open window, turn on ceiling fan better circulation, less likely to fall sick. After PE, wont stink up the whole classroom.

 

[anchoraz]

Install more ceiling fan better. Cos go in and out too often. Aircon oso nt strong.

Easy spoil too if adjust temperature too often. Mayb only computer, music room or hall can.

 

[psyger-zero]

Students need a conducive environment so they can concentrate on study and not busy holding e-fan in the class.

then ns how?or even uniform groups?

then ns how?or even uniform groups?

Ns and uniform grp inside classroom meh?

 

[Thoreldan]

lesser than lecturers.

School teachers need much more effort to manage a class of highly active school kids compared to tertiary students. Their brain work no less than lecturers'. They have to come up with creative ways to engage the young learners.

They also need to manage another troublesome stakeholders - the parents.

You put a brilliant machine learning lecturer in a noisy Pri 3 class, he'll likely collapse in a week.

Ns and uniform grp inside classroom meh?

Outside also dam hot
