SHORT ESSAY EXCURSION AS PART OF EDUCATION
Man strives for knowledge and
nothing can be better than direct experience. Books, radio television and
internet feed his mind with information every time, but all this results in
mere bookish knowledge that does not go far. Man wants to expand his mental
horizon through direct experiences, and excursion is a suitable method for
this. This is the reason that he goes out of his known bounds and travels to
unknown worlds. Excursion is all the more necessary as it is a part of
education and opens up pupils’ minds to receive the world in proper sense. He
comes into close contact with nature, strange people, awkward customs, unknown
rituals and amazing lands. He learns invaluable lessons of strange environment
with joy. This type of exposure helps him mould his personality a great deal.
Besides, a traveler can escape the dull monotony of daily life. It refreshes
his spirit, halves his stress and strain and removes his narrowness of the
mind. It makes him smart and self-reliant. He learns to accept different things
about which he has been conversant so far. Today travelling involves less
hazards due to a great progress in the field of transport and communication.
