Schools want advice on what ventilation system to roll-out in classrooms.
Its after the Department of Education confirmed Clare schools are to receive a 1.75 million euro funding boost in the form of a minor works grant.
HEPA filters have been spoken about a lot in the past couple of months.
The mechanical ventilation systems purify the air, and will – according to some experts reduce the need for opening windows and doors in classrooms.
With many children and teachers saying they’re cold in schools it may help that issue heading into the cold months of January and February.
However, Michael Gillespie from the Teachers Union of Ireland says schools need help from experts so money isn’t wasted.
The allocation of money for schools can be used for what they see fit to improve the environment – like IT, furniture or PE equipment.
Labour’s education spokesperson Aodhan O’Riordan says the money should be targetted towards ventilation.
In the latest HPSC report the highest incidence of Covid-19 was highest among primary school-going children.
The Department of Education says managing ventilation is just one measure in attempting to keep schools safe.
