Petition Require daily sports in schools and increase school sports funding
We want the government to mandate daily physical education in schools, provide more funds for sports programs, and ensure trained teachers/coaches lead activities.
More details
The funding could also help with the development of accessible facilities and create policies that integrate sports into the curriculum, making physical activity a non-negotiable part of education.
We think that daily sports at school is crucial for children’s physical and mental well-being. Regular exercise can boost endorphin levels and help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression—common issues for today's youth. Sports can improve focus, academic performance, and self-esteem while fostering social skills and teamwork. With mental health challenges on the rise, we think that incorporating daily fitness routines into school schedules could provide a proactive approach to supporting emotional resilience and overall well-being.
