CHALLENGES • Some schools do not offer School Sport as part of the extra-curricular school programme • Non-School Sport structures compete with School Sport structures for learner participation • Educator as employee vs. volunteer (in and out of school) • Increasing the extra-curricular time for PE and School Sport implies extending the school day beyond curriculum contact time • Learners are expected to pay to compete in some competitive programme events 14
CHALLENGES (cont’d) • Educators without qualifications in PE and School Sport who need training • Lack of facilities at schools or in the community that the schools can use • Lack of equipment in schools – especially in disadvantaged areas • Schools and clubs function independently so there is no seamless continuum between offering School Sport on these two levels • Lack of an agreed national calendar for competitive events – negative impact on delivery • Need to incorporate learners with disabilities into the mainstream 15
WAY FORWARD • Approve national School Sport calendar as a matter of priority • Finalise Policy, PE Plan and MINMEC • Finalise a joint draft School Sport Policy Framework • Ensure School Sport structures and national federations for a code work hand-in-hand • Build School Sport into the extra-curricular school programme via a policy framework • Continue with the SASSWC partnership as a model of cooperation • Additional areas of cooperation identified between the two Departments appropriately coordinated by working group 16
WAY FORWARD (cont’d) • Revitalise and re-focus NACOC – Secretariat of NACOC to rest with SRSA – Chairing of NACOC to rotate between two Departments • Explore use of SRSA trained school sport coordinators and cluster coordinators who are not educators to support implementation of School Sport and PE • Initiate and/or sustain implementation of PE in all schools – First ensure implementation across the system and then review time allocation in 2 years’ time • Training of educators in PE – Both Departments to explore sources for funding – SRSA to share existing relevant training and implementation materials with Do.
