Most Northern Ireland primary schools are not providing the recommended amount of physical education classes, ETI_news says
The ETI inspects schools, youth services and training in Northern Ireland and was asked by the department to carry out an evaluation of the provision of PE in primary schools.
It said that in most schools it had witnessed effective PE teaching and learning and some examples of "best practice". "In particular, specialists report the prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms, sleep disorders and anxiety; and symptoms of depression have increased significantly for children, specifically relating to fears and concerns about the impact of the pandemic on their lives," it found.
The evaluation also said there could be "an overemphasis on athletics and games to the detriment of dance and gymnastics" when schools depended on external organisations to deliver PE.
