教育｜石川への修学旅行が増加中！ / Education | The number of school trips to Ishikawa is on the rise!

Summary

A recent survey by the prefecture revealed that the number of schools visiting Ishikawa Prefecture for school trips in the 2025 fiscal year has reached 126, marking a 50% increase from the previous year.

This increase is attributed to the recovery from the Noto Peninsula earthquake and a growing appreciation for the “Disaster Learning Program” offered by the prefecture. The local government plans to further promote this program as a way for children to learn about the impacts of major disasters and the process of recovery.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard that school trips to Ishikawa are increasing! I wonder why that is?
Log: Well, the main reason is that the earthquake disaster learning program has been well received. By studying the disaster, the children deepen their understanding.
Chako: I see! And I heard that the reception capabilities in the Noto Peninsula are also returning to normal!
Navi: To add to that, by learning about the recovery process from the earthquake, it’s hoped that students will enhance their disaster prevention awareness.
Log: That’s true; that experience seems like it would be beneficial for the future.

Admin’s Note

I feel that the increase in school trips to Ishikawa Prefecture is a result of the recognition of the importance of recovery from the earthquake and education. It is valuable for children to have the opportunity to visit the area directly, as it allows them to learn about the impact of the disaster and the reality of the recovery efforts. Additionally, this contributes to the promotion of local tourism, making the initiatives by the prefecture and the tourism association very significant. I hope this trend continues in the future.
