Engineer put a plan on the table last year to make all Flemish classes corona-proof: “But the minister brushed it off the table” | Education

“Today, all classes in Flanders could have been equipped with a ventilation system or with air purifiers. Or sometimes even both.” That’s what engineer Leen Peeters says. Last year she went to Minister of Education Ben Weyts (N-VA) with a calculated plan, but it disappeared in the wastepaper basket. For the first time she explains how Flanders missed the opportunity to make its schools ‘coronaproof’. “Lack of courage and ambition have cost lives.”
