🌍 As heatwaves become more frequent, their impact on education is increasingly severe. This April and May alone, over 210 million children missed school days due to extreme heat. This disruption, driven by climate change, threatens learning gains and widens education gaps globally. #ClimateCrisis #Education
📊 The World Bank found that for each 1°C rise in classroom temperature, student performance can drop by 2-12%. In Bangladesh, millions missed two weeks of school due to heat, jeopardizing their educational progress. We must prioritize solutions to protect students from these climate impacts. #Heatwaves #EducationCrisis
🌱 Innovative solutions like cool roof paint in Indonesia or climate-resilient school designs in Burkina Faso show promise. Governments need to identify vulnerable schools, implement cooling strategies, and ensure continuous learning despite closures. The future of millions of children depends on it. #SustainableEducation #FutureGenerations
