EDIFÍCIOS DE EDUCAÇÃO

A Saint-Gobain África oferece um conjunto de soluções para otimizar o conforto de professores e alunos em escolas, faculdades de formação e universidades em África.

VOCÊ SABIA ?

Num estudo piloto realizado pela Universidade de Salford e pelos arquitetos Nightingale Associates, descobriu-se que o ambiente da sala de aula pode afetar o progresso académico de uma criança em até 25% ao longo de um ano.

Mesmo quando os jovens da África Subsariana têm acesso à escolaridade, nem sempre dispõem das melhores condições de aprendizagem.

As salas costumam estar superlotadas, acolhendo de 40 a 50 alunos na mesma turma. Essas instalações apresentam superfícies duras e lisas, como paredes de tijolos, pisos de concreto e quadros-negros. Esta combinação de materiais incentiva a propagação do ruído em vez de otimizar o ambiente sonoro.

Em combinação com isto, há uma proliferação de escolas privadas para superar as deficiências dos sistemas públicos e satisfazer uma procura crescente.

Na Saint-Gobain África, acreditamos que os esforços combinados de designers, arquitetos, empreiteiros e departamentos governamentais ou entidades privadas encarregadas de construir instalações educativas podem contribuir para a transformação dos resultados educativos.
