We need this debate

We understand that the Ministry of Education uses an indemnity form which every parent signs before their children undertake school trips.
School trips are an integral part of the school curriculum. Students often have to travel for sporting activities, or as part of extending their knowledge beyond the classroom.

Other than just learning cognitive ideas in a classroom setting, it is important that students undertake excursions to make their book knowledge meaningful.
Suffice to add that travel broadens the horizons of the learners. It is clear to the school authorities that they need their students to be exposed and to perform well in class and sporting activities. On the other hand, parents and students want school trips knowing that it is beneficial.
