National Development Plan
“Encourage sports and physical education. They
are an integral part of the holistic development of a
learner. Schools are where talent is identified,
career choices made (including careers in sport) and
habits learnt. Given the growing problem of obesity,
the habit of leading an active life-style can be
developed at a young age through participation in
sport. Working with the Department of Sport and
Recreation, the Department of Basic Education has
reintroduced school sport. This positive initiative
needs to be expanded.”
National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011)
