Today's dailies carried the news about physical education revolution in China after introducing one-hour compulsory program in Schools. It is also revealed that till now there existed only voluntary program as well as specialist training for elite athletes. Suddenly the chinese govt. has developed concerns over the fitness level of its people, hence the introduction of the one-hour program in schools.
Down here at the southern state of Kerala is an institution called NIT Calicut which has Physical Education as a compulsory entity in its Engg. curriculum since 2002-03. The Scheme & Syllabus for the compulsory one-credit course in physical education was designed by me during 2002. The course consists of initial class-room contact session followed by pursuing any choice activity by a student under professional guidance for a period of one month, which will help him learn/ master a game/ activity.
The program has over the years become such a hit that the participation % of students in NIT Calicut has touched an all time high of 52%. The specialist coaching of teams and participation in various levels of tournaments run parallel. Ask our students to know more.
