School tours to foreign countries

Foreign trips from school are essential to make the learning process effective and they should be included in the curriculum.

School tours to foreign countries are very educative and provide us an opportunity to explore the outside world. Students get to learn about the culture, way of living of people and history of different countries, and, at the same time, they have fun. This way, education can be made a fun-learning process. I personally feel foreign trips from school are essential to make the learning process effective and they should be included in the curriculum.

I feel that school tours to foreign countries are necessary because they allow students to visit new places which provide them an entirely new experience when compared to visiting nearby locations. They help students in acquiring knowledge about foreign traditions and cultures from which they could choose the positive aspects and apply them in their lives.

Too much of everything isn’t good, and if there are frequent tours, teachers end up having less time to complete the syllabii. Also, parents who can’t afford to buy the tickets might be forced by the children. Instead, there should be yearly trips to places where students can learn something from and which are not very crowded.
