Queenee, a dedicated teacher, delved into a research project exploring the influence of weather changes on students' second language acquisition. The findings revealed detrimental effects.

Climate change, she realised, casts a shadow on a child's education, particularly in less privileged schools lacking proper facilities. In these learning environments, elevated temperatures hinder the already challenging educational journey. The impact extends beyond discomfort—extreme weather events result in frequent suspensions, disrupting the learning process with unpredictable shifts from scorching heat to torrential rain and unexpected brownouts.

Confronted daily with the reality her students face, Queenee harbours a deep sadness, witnessing firsthand the severe toll climate change exacts on the education sector and the promising futures of these young learners.
