                    [Summary] => Education Secretary Raul Roco should be commended for his decision not to ban field trips for public school students. 


This is a "most welcome development," said Leonor Magtibay, spokeswoman for a group of concerned parents who vehemently reacted to the Department of Education’s initial claims that Roco had disallowed the holding of field trips in the public school system.


Magtibay said parents of public school students were relieved knowing that their children will get equal opportunities as those of private school students.

This was the clamor of concerned parents of public school students and representatives of institutions such as the National Museum, Museo Pambata, Fort Santiago Shrine, after Education Secretary Raul Roco’s suggestion curtailing field trips in public schools nationwide.


Roco, in a memorandum addressed to DECS District Supervisors and Superintendents, urged all public school officials to avoid any form of educational trip as they add more financial burden to families of children in public schools.
