Physical Education (PE) provides for the development of a wide range of skills, techniques, knowledge and competencies for healthy living. It is closely associated with Sports. Beyond being a leisure activity with health benefits, Physical Education and Sports, is now a global multi- billion-dollar industry, with vast potential to positively transform us.

PE proactively engages the learner in several physical activities and helps him or her to better manage his or her weight, and avoid obesity- related problems, such as, diabetes and high cholesterol. PE has the potential to unlock and develop one's hidden talent. It maximises the learner's natural ability or talent, and enables him or her to excel at Local, national or international levels.
