More than a third of parents think the ventilation is insufficient. They notice, for example, that children come home with headaches and have trouble concentrating at school.

For example, the school has an elevator, a quiet room where students can relax or wide corridors without thresholds. But 18 percent of parents think the building is not accessible at all. Their child’s school, for example, lacks an elevator or suitable facilities, corridors are too narrow or there is a lot of noise disturbance. More than half of these parents (56%) think the school should do more to make the building more accessible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to school buildings, most parents find hygiene and cleaning the most important focus points.
