SNP ministers plan to spend £300,000 chopping the bottoms off hundreds of classroom doors to try to stop the spread of Covid in schools.
Shirley Anne-Somerville, the Scottish Education Secretary, wrote to MSPs informing them that around 2,000 doors could be “undercut to increase airflow”.
In a letter to Holyrood’s education committee, she said between two and four per cent of rooms across Scotland’s schools and nurseries had been identified as having “problematic” carbon dioxide levels because of inadequate ventilation.
She said this was the equivalent of around 2,000 classrooms and £5 million would now be spent trying to improve their airflow using filtration units, extraction fans and by chopping off the bottoms of doors.
Each door is expected to cost around £150 to rectify, she said, resulting in a total cost to the public purse of around £300,000.
