About Physical Education
This post addresses the critical need for mandatory physical education and the permanent appointment of qualified Physical Education (PE) teachers across all primary and secondary schools in Kerala. While academic excellence is highly prioritized, physical fitness and mental well-being are often neglected due to the lack of dedicated instructors. Student strength or division count should not be a barrier to securing a healthy future for children. By introducing structured sports and fitness routines from the primary level, schools can combat lifestyle diseases and foster a robust sports culture. This article advocates for policy changes to ensure every student has access to quality physical training.
