My company does lots of work on school design and building schools for the future. As part of my job I go into a lot of existing schools and see some great design alongside terrible design mistakes and interesting head scratching stuff. Imagine being one of two learners sharing the desk in the photo. Neither learner is able to sit comfortable as the seats don't fit under the desk. The whole classroom has this issue with whoever placed the order not taking into account the actual space needed for learners to work in comfort. Apparently these desks and chairs have been in use for five years and one learner commented that his back hurts when using this classroom as he is tall and has to bend to use the table when sitting next to someone.
