...of the human body. It is taken during primary and secondary education and encourages psychomotor learning in a play or movement exploration setting to promote health.[2] Asia[edit] In South Korea, it is mandatory for pupils to take a total of 3 hours of physical education through primary and secondary level schools[citation needed] In Singapore, pupils from primary school through junior colleges are required to have 2 hours of PE every week, except during examination seasons. Pupils are able to play games like football, badminton, captain ball, and basketball during most sessions. Unorthodox sports such as touchball, fencing, and skateboarding are occasionally played. In more prestigious secondary schools and in junior colleges, sports such as golf, tennis, shooting, and squash are played. A compulsory fitness exam, NAPFA, is conducted in every school once every year to assess the physical fitness of the pupils.[citation needed] Pupils are given a series of fitness tests (Pull-ups/Inclined pull-ups for girls, standing broad jump, sit-ups, sit-and-reach and 1.6 km for primary [10- to 12-year-olds]/2.4 km for secondary and junior college levels [13- to 18-year-olds]). Students are graded by gold, silver, bronze or fail. NAPFA for pre-enlistees serves as an indicator for an additional 2 months in the country's compulsory national service if they attain bronze or fail. In Malaysia, pupils from primary schools to secondary schools are expected to do 2 periods or 1 hour of PE throughout...

...Dear Sir/Madam, I have enclosed my CV to this application in regards to the Sport, Physical Education and Coaching Science BSc (Hons) qualification at the University of Birmingham. I would be a good applicant for this course as I have a passion for sport and coaching and also aim to become a Secondary School PE Teacher. I’m currently in my second year of Sixth Form and are studying sport, business and psychology. I have enjoyed studying these subjects as I feel I have gained a lot of new knowledge which would contribute to the course that you offer at your university. In sport I already have a GCSE qualification and are currently taking a BTEC Level 3 extended diploma in Sport. I’m a very outgoing person who likes to participate in a variety of sports. My main sport is Kickboxing which I have been doing for 6 years. I enjoy doing this sport as it is extremely challenging and requires me to have dedication and motivation. I also compete in this sport doing both light continuous and full contact fights. This involves me fighting an opponent from another gym for 3-7 rounds. My main achievement in this sport has been being able to fight for a world title in Scotland for my full contact debut. This was a great opportunity and allowed me to gain a lot of experience of competing in the sport. I have also been helping to teach younger children’s kickboxing lessons for 2 years, which initially inspired me to become a PE teacher. By helping with these...

...YES YES Should Physical Education in Schools be Compulsory? Should Physical Education in Schools be Compulsory? Beth Price Beth Price Health is promoted by participation in sports. The Government is, or should be, concerned with the welfare and general health of its citizens. Encouraging physical activity in schools fights child obesity and contributes to forming lifelong habits of exercise through compulsory PE. Almost a quarter of adults in England were classified as obese in 2009. This doesn’t have to be through traditional team sports; increasingly schools are able to offer exercise in the form of swimming, gymnastics, dance, weight training, use of a multigym, aerobics, etc. If physical education were compulsory in secondary schools, it would allow pupils to get better opportunity to discover and develop talents. This would lead to not only a generally healthier generation of students, but a more skilful generation that can then use these gifts later on in life, through the ability to try lots of other activities whilst in school. Physical activity can contribute to holistic schooling where each child can not only focus on their academic education and achievements but also find their own individuality and purpose in life through things like influences in the community and humanitarian ideals such as consideration and goodwill. ‘Holistic education aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning.’ This is the...

...Gender Equity in Sports Colleen Iardella American Military University Gender equity in sports describes an environment in which fair and equitable distribution of overall athletic opportunities, benefits, and resources is available to women and men and in which student athletes, coaches, and athletics administrators are not subject to gender-based discrimination. Title IX, passed in 1972 at the pinnacle of the women’s rights movement, banned sex discrimination in any federally financed education program. It threw into quick relief the imbalanced treatment of male and female athletes on college campuses. Ever since Congress passed the federal gender-equity law, universities have opened their gyms and athletic fields to millions of women who previously did not have chances to play. But as women have surged into a greater part on campus in recent years, many institutions have resorted to deception to make it look as if they are offering more sports to women. Throughout this paper I will discuss the issues of gender equity in sports. I will mention what equal opportunities women have to play sports and how they can develop the psychological, physiological and sociological impact from sports participation. Females are playing team sports more now than they were a decade ago and far more women will play team sports in the next decade. In the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association's (SGMA) study, the authors analyzed many team sports and the role that females...

For this criterion I will be explaining how different political, legal and social factors have an impact on two businesses, these two will be Shenley Academy and Cadbury I will be also talking about how these factors affect each businesses stakeholder. Shenley Academy Political EBAC (English baccalaureate) is a political factor that is affecting Shenley Academy, EBAC is a performance measure for school, awarded when students secure a grade or above at GCSE level across a core of five academic subjects which are English, Mathematics, History or Geography, Science and one Language. EBAC is not a qualification in itself. EBAC will rank schools on the proportion of their pupils achieving A*-C passes in five subjects mentioned above. EBAC will affect results of pupils because if they do achieve GCSE’s they are going to be in subjects that the EBAC has put them in, it will also make pupils perform worse because of their disinterest in their compulsory subjects many pupils are made to do subject which they do not like which will make them lose interest in that subject and won’t perform well for example pupils who do not like a language subject will constantly perform badly because of their disinterest and this might gradually make them uninterested in other subjects. Also teachers might be placed into bigger classes that are...

...During my primary school period, I was very dependant, and reliant on my parents to help me with such things as homework, and other education based material. On course to the build of my SATS, it required me to revise for the exams, and as I was very reliant on my parents and teachers at school, I was unable to revise efficiently. However, my parents decision to send me to a private boarding school in London, for five years during my secondary school life, enabled me to gain responsibility of myself and become independent, being away for my parents and taking care of myself, were one of the factors which allowed me to adapt to an independent life, giving me the skills that not only helped me during the freedom of college, and independent work but also will help me during life at university as I’ve experienced and learnt how to be responsible of myself at a very young age. During my spare time I enjoy to play football whenever I can, and if it’s not football I’m playing its either watching live football or even be playing a football related video game. During my primary and secondary school life I was vastly involved with football related activities, whether that be football during break or even captaining the school team, competing against local schools. Also I do enjoy reading biographies and autobiographies of former and current football players, and managers, too see how became the person they are today as well as reading their opinion on former colleagues.

...organisations in some parts of the world create for school students. They are activities which all school students must attend alongside the standard study curriculum. In Singapore, the policy was introduced by the Ministry of Education, which believe extra activities for school students are a means to enhance social interaction, leadership, healthy recreation, self-discipline and self-confidence. At higher levels of education, CCA participation may even translate into academic points. The scope of CCAs is wide due to a nearly inexhaustible list of interests. Some of the major groups include Computer Club, Art Club, Dance Club, Swimming, Basketball and Photography Club. Uniformed groups include the St. John Ambulance Brigade (SJAB), Red Cross, Military Band, The Singapore Scout Association, Girl Guides Singapore, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) and National Cadet Corps (NCC). Performing arts groups are also included, with Chinese Orchestra, choirs, bands and Dance Clubs among such CCAs. CCAs are held outside standard curriculum hours and the activities partaken depend on the nature of CCA. For example, Uniformed groups do foot drills and team-building exercises while competitive sportsmen spend most of the time training and learning techniques from their instructors. In the first year, the students are required to pick one or more interest group to join. While the choices available to students differ from school to school, there are national requirements for the...
