§ 128. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Education how many education authorities have informed her of their decision to abolish school visits to places of interest during school hours and to make no grants for that purpose; and what recommendations she has issued in regard to these decisions.
§ Miss HorsbrughArrangements for school visits made during school hours as part of the ordinary school curriculum, and the expenditure attributable to them, need not be submitted for my approval and are not separately recorded in the returns made to my Department. In Circular 242 I asked authorities to review their expenditure, with certain reservations, under Section 53 of the Act, under which, amongst other activities, school visits outside school hours are arranged.
