INTRODUCTION

The new policy on education treats education as a unique investment in the present and the future. Among other things, it states that sports and physical education are an integral part of the learning process and will be included in the evaluation of performance. It stipulates that every educational institution should have adequate sports facilities and scientific programmes of physical education to enable every school going child to participate in games and sports and fitness activities of his/her own choice.

Education can no longer be considered merely as a vast-sea of mental acrobatics but has to help in developing an individual who is physically fit, mentally sound, emotionally balanced and socially well adjusted., A scientifically planned curriculum of physical education only can help in developing the total personality of the child and ensure a balance among fators which constitute wholesome personality.

Keeping the sports infrastructure in mind the schools have been divided into three categories namely schools with adequate sports infrastructure, schools with inadequate infrastructure and schools with no sports infrastructure. While preparing the curriculum of physical education, all the three types of schools have been kept in mind. The prescribed syllabus can be efficiently carried out among schools which have insufficient play areas, of course with few modifications in terms of size of the play fields and improvisation of sports equipment. Schools which do not have play grounds may lay stress on those games and sports which can be performed in a small area (the place where school prayer is held) and also inside the classrooms. In these schools most of Rhythmic activities (Bharativam activities) and games like Kabaddi, Kho-kho, Table Tennis. Judo, Wrestling can be efficiently done. With regard to other sports, lead up activities in Miniature size fields can be performed.

The recommended syllabus of physical education has been so designed that upto class five the child gets movement orientation (movement education), from classes six to eight emphasis is on learning of skills of sports through lend up activities and in classes nine to twelve emphasis is laid on high performance in one sport of student's choice. In all the classes due emphasis has been given to athletics and gymnastics (both being mother sports) and on yoga. A separate curriculum of Aquatics has also been recommended for those schools which have a swimming pool. At the end of the curriculum the evaluative criteria has also been suggested.
