“The teaching and learning of Physical Education is based on principles from science, psychology, sociology and movement education. Physical education programme is an integral part of the total education of every child for holistic development and well-being, from kindergarten to Senior High school.
Quality physical education programmes are needed to increase the physical competence, health-related fitness, self-responsibility, stress management, recreation and enjoyment of physical activities for all learners including those with learning or physical disabilities, environmentally or culturally deprived and the gifted so that they can be physically active for life.
They are also needed for an increase in productivity, reduction of national revenue on health, absenteeism, corruption, etc. However, Physical education programmes can only be beneficial to learners and society if they are well planned, implemented and managed”.
