On the eve of the start of the school year and a new educational strike, Salvador Illa announced this Monday that, in the coming weeks, the Government will present a complete program to air-condition all educational centers in Catalonia. The President of the Generalitat explained this on Monday in an interview on Catalunya Ràdio: "We will explain to the public where we stand and what we will do to resolve the situation," he said. The measure, he added, will also be implemented in nursing homes for the elderly.

In June, it took its toll on Barcelona's kindergartens: faults in the air conditioning systems have multiplied the effects of the heat in the classrooms, where in many cases temperatures reached almost thirty degrees. The inability to respond to this problem, beyond distributing penguins—portable air conditioners—to the affected centers, has forced the City Council to process an emergency plan to address it.
