Field Trips Fading: Educational Equity at Risk Amid Budget Cuts and Curriculum Pressure

School field trips, once a cornerstone of childhood education, are rapidly vanishing from the curriculum, with researchers flagging a troubling statistic: the trips that do survive are often less enriching and disproportionately benefit privileged students. Recent reports from PGL Beyond in May 2025 and BusesForSale in July 2026 highlight a sharp decline, largely driven by escalating transportation costs, budget cuts, and intense curriculum pressure to focus on 'measurable outcomes,' leaving critical real-world learning experiences on the chopping block. This shift isn't just about missing a fun day out; it's widening the educational equity gap for students from lower-income backgrounds who depend on school-provided access to cultural and scientific institutions.
