Development of Physical Educationteaching guideline for primary school
teachers in Uganda【Uganda】
The project will develop teaching guideline and train teachers of primary schools on physical education (PE) in Uganda by conducting several
workshops in order to improve the current situation that PE incorporated in curriculum is not taught as desired. In teaching guideline, by applying
the context of Ugandan primary schools as well as Japanese PE experience and knowledge, this project will develop the guideline which primaryschool teachers can utilize in their PE lessons. The contents of teaching guideline should match with both the government educational goals andthe reality at the ground. As for the workshop, it will be held for teachers to acquire practical skill and knowledge of how to implement lessons
using teaching guideline. Through these activities, the project aims to establish a system where primary school teachers can continue to conduct
PE lessons by themselves.

Project Purpose

In Uganda, PE has not been taught in all schools due to lack ofteacher experience/knowledge/teaching skills in addition to theshortage of teaching equipment in schools.
In this project, we are working on the following three activities:

theme. In order for local teachers to conduct
developed classes on their own, not only
handing over the teaching plans and teachingmaterials, but also video shooting staff of Z-kai
Group were dispatched to Vietnam to record theclasses and training.
These resources will be widely spread throughmedia such as YouTube and will also aim toraise parent awareness of obesity prevention
through local "dietary education.“

Lesson style to promotequestions and teamwork

Hand over to teachingmaterials to 24 teachers

Way Forward & Message from the Project
In order to achieve our goal of "Localization of teaching materials and classes" we conducted a field survey on thestate of snacks and conducted a questionnaire: "My favorite snack" before the class in this fiscal year.
Through these surveys, we completed the lesson based on snacks sold in the local market.
Furthermore, in order to promote “Shokuiku”, it is important to change the awareness and behavior of families
and teachers. We took movies of the class and shared them with families so that it would not become a closed
program at schools.
We will continue our activities through our local subsidiaries so that we can solve the problem of obesity in children,which has become a social problem.
