Field Trip

Today at two pm the third year school of information sciences students specializing in media during their class in the publishing laboratory could not hold on their anger over the delayed field trip.

The students were unhappy over the issue of field trip which they paid for one year ago. The students have raised the issue to their class representative who has not taken their grievances serious to the head of filed trip department. It took the intervention of the class representative Mr. Reuben to calm down the class as he went to sort out the issue with the HOD. Unfortunately the HOD was not around and it had to take the intervention of madam Philippine to intervene and calm down her fellow students. Phillipine said "The issue about your trip has been brought to my attention as the MUSISSA treasurer am going to talk to the relevant authorities and bring you a report over the issue next week on Monday."

The history of delayed field trips has become a phenomenon where the students have to pay first for a trip which they are supposed to go in their second year. Last year, under similar circumstances with the current fourth years, the HOD of field trips when faced with the students cited the reasons for delay in field trips as solely on the students. He said that there are students who delay in paying their fees such that the trip cannot be scheduled before all the students pay. Because of this reason, the department recommended for filed trips in their third year at the beginning of the first semester.

Procrastination is a characteristic of failure. Delayed justice is denied justice. At the beginning of every semester students are asked to pay their fees in full before accessing any school services. Why can the school implement the same regulations; students receive services as soon as they pay for them.
