...the adoption of ACCT standards by the Ministry of Education to govern operation of challenge courses in Singapore.
In the light of the CNA article: “After outdoor mishaps with schoolkids, instructors now required to go through detailed checklists” and recent incidents involving challenge courses, I attempt to provide an overview of how the Ministry of Education decided to adopt a set of standards devised by a US-based professional association, the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT).
I am grateful for the contributions of Afiq Samsudin, Selamat Jufri and Chew Hiap Iuh to this article, especially in the area of incorporating ACCT standards into challenge course operations at MOE and Republic Polytechnic and the discussion of ‘best practices’ and ‘standards’.
Any opinions expressed herein are purely my own as a practitioner.
I assume full responsibility for any errors of fact and welcome corrections.
