The controversy arises when it is presented to the educational community decree Basque develop the new curriculum, which sets out the hours that are set for each subject in compulsory education, ie primary and secondary. Notes with surprise that the number of hours devoted to physical education is reduced more than substantial. A complicated scenario for the drawing Fitness Education Act.

According to the decree of Education in Primary spends 2.5 hours a week, 1.5 hours, and in high school, 2 hours per week in each of the four years, at a minimum model establishing two hours in the first three years and one hour in the room. The reduction is therefore 30% and 40%, respectively, for the first and second stage of compulsory education. The wave of protests broke out between the professors involved and spread throughout the educational community to lead the February 11 in a strike with the feeling that the conflict provides a scenario difficult to solve.

Personal Opinion:

Honestly, I dare say that this time reduction proposal that is about to take place is an attack on society. To begin, it is clear that today physical activity is not present on a regular basis in a large number of Child s, and this is increasing.

Physical education is to enrich students with a lot of values \u200b\u200bthat will serve them daily living, such as promoting teamwork (companies increasingly asked), hygiene, healthy habits, communication ... Also be said that the countries where they have the best educational outcomes involved 3 hours per week or more to physical education.
addition, physical education classes are very important to find problems with peers, such as marginalization, bullying, difficulties in integration ... and not only that, somehow or other can be remedied (for example, if their students are marginalized in the game of ten passes, it applies a rule that says that the ball has to go through all the members of the group and Case settled.)
These are just a few of the arguments that I have against the reduced time in physical education, but I could write many more. Finally, I would like to recall the problems that could generate this reduction in the long run, especially health, obesity, cholesterol, muscular problems, joint problems with overweight, have cardiovascular disease with what this means ... and all because of inactivity ... can we make it even!
