PARENTS FRIGHTENED: Students give up from their excursions because of terrorism!
Reasons for so little interest in excursions is because parents don't have enough money to pay for the trip and the safety concerns, considering all the terrorist attacks around Europe
In education, teachers say, the best remembered are excursions and vacations, and many high school pupils will have one less memory this year.
There are many schools that won't organize the trip for their students, because there is nor real interest it, reports "Novosti".
Reasons for so little interest in excursions is because parents don't have enough money to pay for the trip and the safety concerns, considering all the terrorist attacks around Europe. Parents were particularly afraid if the Nice attack, which is one of the mandatory stops on their trip to the Azure coast.
Since neither the Ministry of Education, not the Foreign ministry issued any recommendation about safe or risky destinations, principals themselves assess where it would be appropriate for schools to travel.
- Graduates are traveling across the Côte d'Azur to Spain next week. In previous years it was one night in Nice, and now we have replaced the Sanremo. Just passing through France - explains Jasmin Nikolovski, principal of the Gymnasium Patriarch Pavle (Fifteenth High School in Belgrade).
When choosing the destination for the excursion of the third and the fourth year of Graphics school, the basic criteria was the safety of the students. It was determined for the graduates to travel to northern Italy, and their year younger friends will travel across middle Europe. The students of the Fifth High School in Belgrade will also go to the Apennine peninsula.
Students of the Medical school "Belgrade" will say if they want to travel next week or not, but for the last two years there weren't enough interested, so there were no trips. It was the same situation last year in Polytechnic School in Kragujevac.
