Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all ¶

“Sport and physical education can motivate children and youth to attend and engage in formal and informal education, as well as improve academic performance and learning outcomes. Sport can teach transferable life skills and key values such as tolerance, inclusion and can lead towards learning opportunities beyond school.” (UNOSDP)

The potential contribution of sport toward ‘quality education’:

• Engaging learners

• Providing various learning experiences

• Modelling of positive teaching styles

• Re-connecting young people to formal learning environments

• Providing more inclusive learning environments

• Strengthening relationships between teachers and learners
