Talking of classrooms, is there a list of all the bits of airliner in use in colleges around the country? ….
A couple of Short 330s are in use:

Quite.
I’m always amused in films where any bizjet interior is the width and height of a wide body.

I know of two in my area – something that looks like a 737 nose at Chichester College and a section of fuselage that is probably from a 747 at South Downs College, near Waterlooville, both for cabin crew training but I’m guessing that other educational establishments will have similar (large-ish and identifiable, rather than just system bits) pieces of late aeroplane lying around to teach various trades to the uninitiated.
