PE4Life training

The Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture (MEAC), the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service together with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) through their joint programme; IPESS hosted a PE4Life guide trial run at the Immanuel Shifidi Secondary School in Windhoek with about 27 learners attending the event. 17 representatives from MoEAC, PE teachers, UNAM lecturers, Education officers from the Khomas regional directorate of Education, also took part in these practical sessions. The physical education guide (for grade 8-9) for educators in Namibia is part of a series, that supports physical education teachers, coaches and other educators to run quality physical education lessons at school or after school. The guides provide knowledge about some underlying concepts and theories but also guidance on how to structure and plan a physical education session as well as providing 20 practical sample sessions. This PE4Life trial run was carried out to ensure that the practical sessions are age-appropriate, instructions are clear, the set-up is right and each exercise works in practice as planned and conceived on the page. The concept of PE4Life combines physical education with the Sport 4 Development approach, which aims for lifelong learning in regards to life skills or health topics. This event was therefore very useful and the Grade 8-9 kids from the Immanuel Shifidi Secondary School as well as the Goreangab Junior Secondary School certainly put the exercises and the guide through its paces giving the creators valuable insights and information.
