Educational Tours: Site Selection & Notable Landmarks/Museums

Evaluation and Promotion of Local and Oral History

• When selecting sites for educational tours, consider museums, historical sites, art galleries, and archeological sites recognized by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).
• Prioritize sites near the school to minimize expenses and logistical difficulties.
• A pragmatic approach maximizes students' ability to appreciate and tour the site for a longer period with ease.
• The chosen site should be significantly historical and cultural to maximize educational benefits.
• The value of the site should be a primary consideration, outweighing proximity.
• Sites should offer diverse learning areas, combining historical elements with art galleries, museums, parks, or archeological sites.
• Select sites representing different time periods to foster curiosity and illustrate the evolution of culture and historical events.
• Chronological presentation enhances the appreciation of human development.
