Question 16396 — teaching

Summary

Mr. Alexandre Allegret-Pilot draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the need to equip classrooms against high heat and more particularly to the installation of ceiling fans (air fans) in all classes in the national territory by 2028. This Monday, June 22, 2026, the ministry announced the closure of 845 schools and colleges, mainly in departments placed on vigilance red. In June 2025, nearly 2,200 schools had already had to close their doors due to the heatwave. These closures, partial or total, disorganize families – particularly working parents –, interrupt the continuity of learning and even disrupt the taking of exams. According to school building specialists, around 80% of schools are currently not equipped to withstand heat waves. Gold the effort rests almost exclusively on municipalities, particularly the smallest rural municipalities – many of which in the Gard department – ​​which do not have the means to finance these adaptations on their own. The plan to renovate 40,000 schools announced in 2023 saw its funding slowed, the Green Fund having been reduced from 2.5 to 1.15 billion euros between 2024 and 2025. The government's own national plan for adaptation to climate change Government (PNACC 3, March 2025) sets a reference warming trajectory of +2.7°C in 2050 and +4°C in 2100 and the High Council for the Climate considers that France “is not yet ready” to face the consequences. In this context, the ceiling fan constitutes a simple, energy-efficient solution that is much less expensive than air conditioning, capable of being deployed quickly and on a large scale. He him therefore asks if the Government intends to launch a national plan to equip classrooms with ceiling fans by 2028, what financial resources will be mobilized to support municipalities – particularly rural ones – in this process and according to what timetable. He also questions him on the advisability of raising this question, with his European counterparts, as part of a joint reflection on the adaptation of the school buildings in high heat.
