The vast majority of people believe children today go on fewer school expeditions and trips than when they were at school—with the cost highlighted as the main reason for the decline.
The survey was commissioned by Bohunt Education Trust (BET) and was conducted by polling company Censuswide. It found that only 10% of people believe that children today have more outdoor education opportunities than they had in their school years, with nearly three-quarters of people (71%) blaming cost as the biggest factor stopping children experiencing outdoor education.
Some 72 % of those surveyed called for a greater focus on outdoor education in both primary and secondary schools—more than three-quarters of people (78%) said outdoor education was important for children’s self-development, and more than two-thirds (68%) said it improved academic achievement.
This agrees with a study by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) last month, which said that: " Overall, studies of adventure learning interventions consistently show positive benefits on academic learning. On average, pupils who participate in adventure learning interventions make approximately four additional months’ progress over the course of a year. There is also evidence of an impact on non-cognitive outcomes such as self-confidence. The evidence suggests that the impact is greater for more vulnerable and older learners (teenagers), longer courses (more than a week) , and those in a ’ wilderness ’setting, though other types of intervention still show some positive impacts. "
BET, one of the country’s top-performing academy trusts, is a leading proponent of outdoor education. It champions an extensive outdoor education and outdoor learning programme for all its students, nurturing talents and providing opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. BET sees outdoor education as crucial to building well-rounded individuals, for resilience (适应力) , character and teamwork, as well as beneficial for academic attainment.
BET is a course provider for Mountain Training UK and students across their seven schools have in recent years gone on expeditions to Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Greenland and the Himalayas, with ones planned next year to Norway, Azerbaijan, the Himalayas and Sri Lanka. At Bohunt School in Wokingham, climbing is incorporated into the curriculum.
Crucially, BET also ensures that outdoor education is available for all its students, regardless of background. Better-off students are expected to fundraise, with the expeditions programme scheduled three years in advance, allowing families to plan. All students receiving the Pupil Premium are provided with grants, so that every student who wants to go on a trip can do so.
Which place is included in both the past and future plans of Mountain Training UK?
选项
A、Kazakhstan.
B、The Himalayas.
C、Azerbaijan.
D、Sri Lanka.
答案
