Inclusive physical and sports education and its place in the active school

Abstract

To better understand the topic, let us first discuss what is meant by Quality Physical Education (QPE). We can find the answer in the UNESCO document “Quality Physical Education Guidelines for Policy Makers.” The second question concerns the explanation of what we mean by an active school. The foundation of this concept can be found in the 2018 WHO report. To achieve the goal of a more active population, as recommended by the WHO, coordinated action across multiple sectors and stakeholders is necessary. This requires implementing a combination of effective policy actions organized around four strategic areas. I would be especially pleased if you could keep in mind these four key points related to inclusive physical education and sport in schools in Africa for the future: Development and practical implementation of the active school model Development of quality inclusive physical education Implementation of adapted physical activities (APA)  Redirecting the training of professionals toward adapted physical activities and sports.
