Importance of Physical Education
Preface
Have you not seen the educational institutes equipped with playgrounds and sports complexes? I bet you must have seen those institutes. If not at least I would suggest do not admit your child to such institutes for the reason the very objective of education is the overall development of your child. Development and growth without physical activities would be out of the question. The very objective of academic education is lost when any educational institute neglects physical education.
Physical education is intended and designed to ensure the physical fitness of the learners. As the expression goes, “a healthy mind lives in the healthy body”. It is equally pertinent to mention that one of the main objectives of imparted education is the development of soul, mind and body. Hence, to some extent we can say without physical education the academic outcomes and objectives cannot be achieved at all. Furthermore, sports increases stamina and develops social recognition and harmony among students.
