Education

Introduction

In recognition of the critical role of education to the future prosperity of the nation, it is imperative that the children study in an environment which is conducive to learning.

Significant advances are being made to improving education infrastructure, increasing the number of skills training places and encouraging students to undertake further studies.

A revolution is also taking place in the design of our educational facilities, with new technologies and products being developed to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

The impact of the education infrastructure on learning outcomes has been extensively researched and documented. Overall building design and condition, lighting, internal air quality, temperature, acoustics – all have an effect on student achievements and behavior.

Verbal communication is the primary mode of teaching in most educational settings. Careful attention to acoustical design is therefore essential for creating an effective learning environment.
