It is very important to see the changes from climate change in education. In the first part of the project we study the effect on air. The results in education are very important because students are greatly affected by the change of fresh air. Clean air affects the breathing and physical endurance of students and teachers. When the air is not clean, the students' physical endurance changes. They do not have the same stamina to participate in school work and activities such as technology, gymnastics and school trips. The school environment is important to be clean. Teachers are also under constant stress about the educational activity and are just as easily influenced. Many times we ask professors and teachers to have more endurance than they can have. This is because they have many problems to deal with related to the natural environment. This is more easily seen in schools located in the city. There the air is not clean and diseases and physical condition are less. Similar things happen with the students. Children from the city get diseases much more easily than children from the city. Diseases and epidemics are more prevalent in city schools. Diseases are more common in urban areas and polluted air helps to spread germs and respiratory diseases. Such problems are associated with humidity, polluted air, exhaust gases and the large movement of cars from fuel. Also Industries and factories create problems in the air and these in turn create respiratory problems for young students and older professors and teachers. Common problems from polluted air are asthma, respiratory infection, indigestion and change in food consumption, while germs in polluted air and humidity multiply in a population with significant effects on students in their daily life and in their school life. . Thus performance in classes decreases and their health is constantly changing. These in relation to food which is not always made from fresh products can create problems in everyday life at school and in the family. So we conclude that the change in climate and the change in the purity of the air we breathe creates a long-term problem in education and affects the way students learn and participate in education. Let's remember for this the covid pandemic that created very important problems in education. We must therefore attach great importance to the purity of the air and take care of its quality.
