Sri Aurobindo believed, “For the body to be effective physical education must be rigorous and detailed, far-sighted and methodological.
This will be translated into habits. These habits should be controlled and disciplined while remaining flexible enough to adapt themselves
to circumstances and to the needs of growth and development of the being”.
Physical education programs at all levels help students develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and behaviours to initiate and
maintain a physically active lifestyle that will continue into and through adulthood. Students are encouraged to use physical activity to
develop personal initiative, responsibility, and caring about others and the community.
A positive, supportive environment is essential to the success of the physical education program. This inclusive learning environment
allows students to experience positive, challenging, and enjoyable physical activity while learning the benefits and importance of such
action. Such an environment accommodates a variety of individual differences such as cultural identity, previous movement experiences,
fitness and skill levels, and intellectual, physical, and socio-emotional maturity.
Appropriate instruction in physical education incorporates best practices derived from research and experiences in teaching students.
This physical education curriculum sets forth developmental and instructional proper rules in designing, implementing, and evaluating
physical education programs.
Therefore, the Physical education committee created a tool, ‘The Physical Education Curriculum’ – which has been researched and
designed to provide consistency, coherence, and rigor in the content and process of teaching physical education throughout the schools
of the CBSE all over the world.
The Physical education curriculum provides all students with enjoyable and worthwhile learning opportunities where they develop the
movement skills and competencies to participate and perform in various physical activities competently, confidently, and safely. It builds
students’ motivation and commitment to physical activity and sports within and beyond school. It can encourage students to participate in
leadership roles, irrespective of their previous experiences or ability in physical activity. The physical education program also prepares
students to develop their careers in physical education and sports. It is one of the dynamic fields, providing numerous opportunities for
diverse career options like being a teacher, coach, sports manager, and many more.
Looking into today’s context, physical education is the only subject that not only develops mental, physical, and social attributes among
us but also contributes to our overall sense of well-being in our life.
