Improvements

As the detrimental impact of poor acoustics on pupil learning became clear, a variety of solutions developed over a period of years. These included the development of regularly updated school acoustic standards and guidance by Governments (see Context column), acoustic materials and the use of soundfield technology (see Interventions column). You will also find details of the impact on learning of these product developments in the Case Studies column.
