With reference to field trips and other forms of outing, the following are the
guidelines;
a.
Educational field trips can supplement classroom instruction, but this

depends on the place visited, i.e., cultural, historical and scientific
interest such as the National Museum, Museo
Pambata,
provincial/local museums, Science Centrum, Planetarium, zoological,
botanical gardens, historical sites/shrines, model manufacturing or
technological firms or scientific sites.
b.
Recognizing, however that such trips involve certain monetary cost

which may be affordable to students coming from poor families and
who therefore are not able to join, teachers should refrain from
conducting tests based on these field trips. Should it be decided that
tests will be held based on these field trips, students who were unable
to join such trips should not be penalized; they shall be given special
tests or assignments as substitute for not joining the field trip.
c.
Those responsible for organizing the field trips should secure the
consent of parents for their children to join the field trip since the
children are under the stewardship of the school.
d.
Educational field trips should never be used to generate income for

the school or for school officials/teachers organizing them. Student
should only be charged for actual costs for transportation, entrance
fees and related expenses.
e.
School teachers should always accompany the school children from

the time they leave for their field trip up to the time they leave for their
respective homes. Parent volunteers should also be encouraged to join
the field trip to help in looking after the school children.

f.
The principal or teacher responsible for organizing the field trip should
select the safest means of transportation. Passengers should be loaded
into the vehicle in accordance with the maximum passenger
capacity. School children should not be allowed to ride on the roof of
motor vehicles or on the boarding platform (sabit).
g.
Drivers should be advised to drive with extreme care considering the

number of school children-passengers. Furthermore they should be
advised against taking any alcoholic drinks for the entire duration of
field trip.
h.
If the field trip involves swimming or some other recreational activity or

sport after the visit to the places of interest, teachers (or lifeguards in
the case of swimming) should be strategically stationed to watch over
the school children.
i.
To the extent that resources would allow the school principals or

teachers should arrange for optional accident insurance coverage for
the schoolchildren who will join the fieldtrip.
j.
No field trip shall be undertaken without the written consent of the

parents, or students guardians;
k.
When a majority joins the field trips, there should be no punitive

measures or activities such as tests related to the trip that will put the
students who could not join the field trip at a disadvantage. They
should be given activities in school to compensate for their inability to
join the field trip.
l.
The field trip should be well planned ahead of time with the students,
so that they know exactly what to look for in the field trip. Safety
measures should be discussed before the field trip;
m.
Places to visit should be educational places, such as cultural and

historical sites or science exhibits in museums which complement or
supplement classroom lessons;
n.
Trips to mall and attendance at noon time TV shows especially during

classes hours are discouraged;
