Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said according to the amendment in the Ministry of Education’s Specialised Circular Letter Number 9, school students are now allowed to visit programmes twice a year for each student according to needs and suitability. — Bernama picGEORGE TOWN, April 27 — All schools are expected to reorganise their visit programmes according to last year’s Guidelines for School Visit Programmes for Students to ensure and strengthen learning outside the classroom.

“We give permission to teachers to plan their students’ visits. Previously, each school was allowed to organised two visits a year, however, now each student is allowed twice a year,” she told reporters after attending the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization heritage programme at Bukit Bendera here today.“So, we want many of our children to follow learning outside the classroom so that their perspective, experience, and skills can be outside the classroom.

Currently, she said, the MoE has visit programmes to the Unesco World Heritage Site in Banda Hilir, Melaka followed by Penang today, and then on to Sabah and Sarawak.She hopes the visit programmes to the World Heritage Sites will not only increase students’ interest in history, but also in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology given that biodiversity is one of the topics that school students need to master now.
