Students to learn about the game of life during PE classes

More schools will offer physical education (PE) classes with a difference over the next two years, focusing more on the learning of values and character development.  Following a successful pilot earlier this year, some 120 primary and secondary schools will receive training on a new Game for Life toolkit, launched by Senior Minister of State (Law and Education) Indranee Rajah at the inaugural Leadership Symposium jointly organised by the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) and SMU. The toolkit is based on the “Character and Leadership through Sport” framework to help PE teachers and sports leaders craft lessons that capture values-learning through teachable moments. It includes a book featuring stories from 25 people, including Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, on how sports inspired them. The SSC said it plans to roll out the toolkit to companies as well, starting next month with several organisations.
