Physical education in schools

Abstract

The article is a continuation of the preceding one written by prof. Kucera. It demonstrates the shortcomings of the contemporary system of teaching of physical training in our primary schools. Improvement will be achieved by collaboration of teachers and school medical officers--paediatricians, using modern teaching procedures and examination methods for the differentiation of children and for assessing a suitable physical training in our primary schools. Improvement will ren but also weaker ones should be engaged in physical training and that in the latter their health status is respected and the intensity of physical training adjusted. It is important to increase the prestige of the subject of physical training in primary schools and give it an equal place as to subjects of general education.
