The influence of politics on our Physical Education

How can the politics influence in our subject? Negatively or positively?? 😑

First of all, we think Physical Education is essential in the children development in order to learn competences for life, like the attitudes and values, and to give them an opportunity to know how to develop an active and healthy lifestyle, because first of all we are educating people.

This intervention cannot be left in the hand of just anybody. It's necessary to protect children through Physical Education and sport programs. So, the intervention has to be adequate in terms of quality and quantity.

Nowadays, there is a great concern about the distance between the physical eduaction and sport policies commitments and their compliance. The current policies of the government of Spain don't follow the international guidelines that recommend an increase in hours of our subject in the official education system.

The data provided by the European Commision show that Spain occupies the last positions in teaching ours dedicated to Physical Education.

This problem makes that our country follows or works through a sport model that belongs to the XX century.
