Filinto Lima, president of the association of public school directors, has addressed the possibility of suspending classes due to extreme heat forecasts. The potential closures would specifically target pre-school and first-cycle students. Lima indicated that he is not opposed to such a measure given the weather conditions. However, he noted that a formal decision from the Government may be necessary to implement these suspensions. The move aims to protect the youngest children from the risks associated with severe heatwaves. The association is monitoring the situation closely as temperatures rise. This proactive approach seeks to ensure student safety over academic continuity during weather emergencies.
