Gita Krishna Raj, CEO, Maverick & National Head of the Physical Education Program for Schools from the Sports sector skill council, highlighted the tripartite relationship in education: student, teacher, and content. She elaborated: Students need to understand the “why” of movement – is that an intellectual question or an emotional one? Teachers focus on the “how” of teaching – is there a difference between obedience and self-discipline? Content needs to expand the bandwidth of “what” is being taught – can we integrate arts and sports for a holistic approach in our curriculum? The conference empowered schools to support teachers and enhance their PE curriculum to promote holistic development! Watch extract:   Watch full conference:
