Educational school trips are beneficial for the progression of a student’s development to build the necessary social skills and an opportunity to see what they learn in the classroom out there in the real world. Taking educational trips also improves student confidence and engagement in the classroom.
A US-based study found that regardless of ethnicity, economic status, or gender, students that take educational trips have a 59% higher chance of getting better grades. These rates increase drastically for high school students to 95% and college to 63%. It is important for educators, parents, and students themselves to do the utmost to plan, organize, and attend educational trips when the right opportunity arises.
