The 21st Century Learning Space is Safe

Reduces the chance of physical injury in learning spaces and ensures better indoor environments.

The furniture should have rounded edges and corners to protect students from injury.

It should be durable, easy to use and require low maintenance.

In spill and accident-prone areas like laboratories, equipment that assures the safety of users (SEFA* Compliant) must be used.

The furniture should be certified with minimal VOC emissions for a healthier and safer learning environment (e.g., Greenguard Certified).

Furniture tested for BIFMA standards should be adopted to ensure durability and safety.

Educational institutes are entrusted with creating a safe place for students, one that allows them to explore, learn, grow, and succeed- professionally and personally. The current environment is rigid and fixed which does not respond to varied requirements and restricts holistic development.

Change in pedagogy, increasing adoption of technology, focus on students’ learning and wellbeing needs to be given a huge impetus. Spaces that support multiple modes of learning –inside and outside the classrooms is the best way forward. In conclusion, it is essential to create new-age learning spaces that are inviting, accommodative, and encourage holistic development.

All stakeholders – from the government, society, educators, students to parents should come together to create a fertile ground. Students and in turn society will grow and flourish.
