Public schools around the world have either no air conditioning or little to none. This is a problem because during the spring to early summer months, the classrooms that have the sun beating directly on them result in the class turning into a sauna.

If more air conditioning units, or better working ones were implemented in these schools, it is likely that a student's test rates will increase.
