SPORT FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT


Education through sport

Education is a fundamental right and it is also the most powerful tool we have for sustainable development. We cannot escape poverty without an education if all students in low income countries left school with basic reading skills.

Did you know that sports program in schools support active learning, complement cognitive skills and give students increasing amounts of responsibility and increase their level of concentration and participation.

The basis of sports education starts in school. Sports education is a curriculum of physical education in schools which aims to provide children and youth with enjoyable sports experience. Sports teaches the students many important things such as leadership, discipline, honesty, sharing, teamwork and many more. Most of the schools are aware that education is not just academics but general development of a child and sports plays a vital role in it.

Schools in Tanzania are gradually beginning to realize the importance of sports in the development of children. Previously in schools the focus was entirely on academics but now the awareness of how sports contribute to the growth of children in terms of life skills is growing.
