IMPORTANCE OF EXCURSION TO SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS

An excursion is usually a brief pleasure trip. It is an activity organized by the school during which students leave the school premises to engage in educational adventures. Schools are encouraged to adopt the practice of excursion because of its tendency to add reality to learning experiences which consequently enriches the courses of study and motivate both teachers and learners.

Furthermore, excursions give exciting educational experiences deeper than the regular school environment affords. It has been proven that visits to places like zoos, nature centers, community agencies (like fire stations and hospitals), government agencies, local business, and museums increase the chances of the learners retaining what is being taught in the classroom. Findings also reveal that children learn about different professions, ideas, and opportunities when they travel outside their own neighborhood which increases their desire to try new things owing to the interest it sparks in them.

THE WHITE DOVE SCHOOLS

Most students don’t know the functions of UNICEF in the world, many have heard of it and they are curious about what this organization does and how they go about it. it has been noticed that the sensitization of UNICEF information online is limited to this Student.

CONCORDIA COLLEGE

We have been taught all about IDP camp and what happens there but most students find it difficult to believe. As the adage says “seeing is believing”, an excursion to one of those IDP camps will definitely make the student realized how true is what they have been told by their teachers and it will enlighten and broaden the knowledge of the children about IDP in Nigeria and nationwide.
