Following Covid lockdowns, the priority for educators to get students back into the classroom for face-to-face teaching. However, the value of engaging students in learning outside of the classroom environment cannot be underestimated.
StudyLink Tours, the UK’s leading student group travel company for the FE and HE sectors, has conducted research to gain a deeper insight into the benefits of enrichment activities and educational visits for college students.
