Dutch Refuse to Let Kids Go on School Foreign Trips Over Terror Threat

Some 25 percent of schools in Netherlands said many parents would not allow their children to participate in a summer foreign trips with fellow students over concerns over terrorist attacks, a survey revealed Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the NOS broadcaster, some 72 percent of schools face questions from parents concerned about terror threats.

According to the survey, several schools cancelled summer trips to European capitals. Those who did not change their mind about the destination amended the itinerary to avoid public places.

The EU law enforcement agency Europol warned earlier in May that Europe could face more terrorist attacks. Last November, Islamist militants killed 130 people in a series of suicide and gun attacks in Paris. Brussels was struck by a terrorist attack in March, which killed 31 people and was linked to the Paris attackers.
