Learning Outside The Classroom

EDM number 4 in 2009-10, proposed by Bob Russell on 18/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Schools.

That this House notes the conclusion of an Ofsted report that learning outside the classroom contributes significantly to raising standards; recognises that learning through experience is a powerful educational tool; applauds the work put into the Manifesto for Learning Outside the Classroom; regrets that despite this work, its aspiration to provide all young people with a wide range of quality experiences outside the classroom, including one or more residential visits, is not yet embedded in all schools; and calls on the Government to find a way of making this a reality for all young people, including those who need financial support.

This motion has been signed by a total of 104 MPs.
