Monitor measuring indoor air quality in a classroom or school

Indoor Air Quality: The Secret Weapon in Improving Cognition

Proper ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) is more important now than ever before. Post-pandemic, it is essential for preventing the spread of Coronavirus, but also essential to prevent air pollutants like CO2 from becoming trapped inside the classroom and damaging students’ health, wellbeing and ability to learn.

A recent international study showed that simply improving indoor air quality could increase cognitive test scores by as much as 60%. There is a huge opportunity here to improve health and reduce the invisible, intangible distractions – the air pollutants that cause a lack of concentration and fatigue and stifle a child’s learning capabilities.

We know one of the challenges, especially in an early years setting, is managing children’s health needs, with increasing incidence of hospital admissions as a result of air particle pollution. Effective air quality management will therefore also reduce sickness absence, so that children miss less school, and supporting performance under the current Ofsted framework assessment.
