THE IMPORTANCE OF FIELD TRIPS

During March, Sekolah Harapan Bangsa Primary conduct their annual field trips. Why is it necessary for schools to undertake field trips?
Field Trips are important to help bridge the gap between education and hands-on experience. Field trips are a vital requirement of student’s educational curriculum. It is here where public schools lack funding and effort to have more access to providing field trips for its students.
Studies published, show teachers who conduct hands-on learning activities on a weekly basis out-perform their peers by more than 70% of a grade level in math and 40% of a grade level in science. If we had more field trips, education would be more creative and effective in getting kids to successfully graduate high school and college. As well as preparing them to make big differences to communities and life as we know it. Field trips are crucial for every student to acquire increased knowledge, culture and hands-on experience. Hands-on experience produce questions and answers that help shape a child’s future.
