Educational trips can provide our students a learning experience which no classroom can. This is real exposure to life that helps the students to excel in critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership, decision making, collaborative and communication skills out of classroom walls. Educational tours and trips present an opportunity for students to develop civic engagement skills, organizational skills, and interpersonal skills. These tours also help them to extend their knowledge beyond text books and develop their personality. It helps students to explore unknown facts & provides immense joy, happiness and a sense of satisfaction to them. We believe, theoretical learning may provide students an opportunity to apply their learning in hypothetical situations but an educational trip can help students implement their knowledge in real-life situations.
Kaliyaganj College arranges educational tours at regular intervals for its students from the department of History, Geography, Zoology, Botany etc. to get out of the classroom and gain real time education and experience to achieve academic enrichment. These tour is a part of their syllabus. Every student participating in the educational tour has to record the travel experience and submit it to the concerned department in the form of a report.
