Alan Johnson, the Education Secretary, this week launched the manifesto for Learning Outside the Classroom. The Manifesto, signed by 90 organisations, including local authorities, museums and activity centres, sets out a vision to enable every young person to experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of their learning and personal development. Learning outside the classroom is about raising achievement through an organised, powerful approach to learning in which direct experience is of prime importance. This is not only about what children and young people learn but importantly how and where they learn. The manifesto proposes an independent council, which would advise on out-of-school learning. A support package would offer schools guidance on planning, funding and evaluating trips. And badges would certify the quality of external education providers. The manifesto also pledges training modules to give new teachers the confidence to run trips. .Mr Johnson said: "Every young person should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and development."
