In order to improve the current situation where physical education in the Uganda primary education curriculum is not taught in the field schools, we formulated teaching materials in line with Uganda’s educational goals and the current situation in primary schools. To local teachers, we aim to ensure that physical education is widely recognized and continued in Uganda through workshops.

In this project, the following three activities were carried out for primary school teachers in three prefectures including the capital and teachers of elementary school teacher training schools.

1) Uganda and Japanese primary school teachers collaborate to create physical education instruction materials and lesson plans and distribute them to primary schools in the three target prefectures.
2) A workshop carried out to improve the teaching ability of teachers in physical education by utilizing the created teaching materials and lesson drafts.
3) By supporting the daily lessons of local teachers and observing Japanese primary school physical education, we will enable teachers in the field to carry out and continue physical education with confidence.

Comments from Mr. Robert Odur, Elementary school teacher:
Through this project, I was able to learn how to evaluate physical education. I was also able to observe the lessons of teachers in Japan and Uganda and think about on how to implement a plan for fun lessons. I would like to utilize the teaching materials I have created in physical education classes at school, generate better lesson ideas, and share them with my colleagues.
