I teach in a UK secondary school; the building with my classroom in was built in the 1960s, as many of them are. Ventilation is poor and after a 60-minute lesson with 25-30 students (age ~15) CO2 will be at 2000-2500 ppm. If there are back-to-back lessons it'll be 3000-3500. I can open some doors, but they lead to connected classrooms so this is only practical if those rooms are not in use. Retro-fitting an AC system is likely possible, but expensive.

Air quality should be a bigger consideration in schools, I bet students will be more attentative and able to focus better without high CO2 levels. We should create the conditions to allow them to succeed.

You might be interested to join the SAMHE project in the UK [1] (that we are part of). It gives free air quality monitors to secondary schools for a large scientific study.
